but reword

Edit the commit message of the specified commit.

You can easily change the commit message of any of your commits by running but reword <commit-id> and providing a new message in the editor.

This will recreate the commit with the new message and then rebase any dependent commits on top of it.

You can also use but reword <branch-id> to rename the branch.

Usage: but reword <TARGET> [OPTIONS]

Arguments

  • <TARGET> — Commit ID to edit the message for, or branch ID to rename (required)

Options

  • -m, --message <MESSAGE> — The new commit message or branch name. If not provided, opens an editor
  • -f, --format — Format the existing commit message to 72-char line wrapping without opening an editor
  • --diff — Always show diff inside the editor.

By default the diff will be shown unless it's large. The diff will always be shown if --diff is passed, regardless of the size of the diff. (default: false)

  • --no-diff — Never show the diff inside the editor (default: false)
