Gergely Buday:
I have a problematic commit in a series of commits on a branch. It contains adding a large binary file, which I would like to avoid to push to our main repository. How can I remove that from the series of commits? A command-line solution, please, if possible.
If the branch is simple (no merges and such), I'd use "git rebase --interactive branchpoint" (where "branchpoint" is where the branch is rooted), or "git rebase --interactive problematic^" (where "problematic" is the commit you want to edit, note the trailing "^" to start from its parent commit).
Then change the "pick" for the problematic commit to "edit", run the rebase, fix up the commit by using "git rm" and "git commit --amend" when it pauses, and then let it finish using "git rebase --continue".
"git --help rebase" for more information. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
