Git: Fix an Older Commit

To fix the message of a commit that is not the most recent one, you can use interactive rebase.

Command	Description
`git rebase -i HEAD~N`	Start an interactive rebase, where `N` is the number of commits back you want to go.

After running the command, an editor will open. Change the word pick to reword (or r) next to the commit you want to edit.

    pick abc123 Old commit message
    reword abc123 Another old commit message

Save and close the editor. A new editor will open, allowing you to enter the new commit message.

⚠️ If You Already Pushed:
Since rebasing rewrites history, you will need to force-push to update the remote branch:

git push --force

Use with caution, as it can cause issues for others working on the same branch.
