Rename local git folder to 'mybrokenlocalrepo'. Use 'git config -get ' to get URL of remote origin.

To start editing, press “ i” and then edit the message (on the first line of the file). If you get your local repo into a complete mess, then a reliable way to throw away local commits in Git is to.A terminal window will open with a vi editor open with the current commit message at the top of the file (there will also be some instructions with # at the start of each line you can leave them alone). Now, whenever you want to correct the message on your latest commit, you right-click on the commit, and select “ Custom Actions” -> “ Amend commit message“. Set Script to run to “git.exe” including path.Using the -include-untracked option also encodes any changes to untracked files as an additional commit. The special refs/stash ref is updated to point to them. Select “Open in a separate window” and unselect “Run command silently” Invoking git stash encodes any changes to tracked files as two new commits in your DAG: one for unstaged changes, and one for changes staged in the index.

To set this up, you can create a “Custom Action” in SourceTree: Your branch is ahead of origin/master by 2 commits. If you want to change the commit message, press ' i ', write your message and then write :wq click enter. When the commit message editor opens up: For just accept and exit, write :q then click enter. Write in terminal: git revert yourcommitid -m 1. This would be a programmatic way to remove commits from a branch, for instance, in order to copy new commits to it (using rebase). Click top right corner ' Terminal ' option of Sourcetree.

If you’re using Atlassian SourceTree with a git repository and you do a local commit but then realise the message was incorrect, you can amend it before you push it to remote. So I tried the following sequence: git reset -hard git rebase origin git fetch git pull git checkout. In fact, if you don't care about checking out, you can set the branch to whatever you want with: git branch -f .
