say, it's commit HEAD~2 to be revised.
git rebase -i HEAD~3
In your editor, you all see something like this:
pick db79377 2nd
pick fa9ced8 3rd
pick b842e49 4nd
# Rebase 1423d77..b842e49 onto 1423d77
#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
Now change "pick" to "edit" with your typo commit, save it and exit.
You will see something like this:
$ git-rebase -i HEAD~3
Stopped at db79377... 2nd
You can amend the commit now, with
git commit --amend
Once you are satisfied with your changes, run
git rebase --continue
Just follow the instructions.
