Git: removing selected commits from repository
- by xk0der
I would like to remove selected commits from a linear commit tree, so that the commits do not show in the commit log.
My commit tree looks something like:
R--A--B--C--D--E--HEAD
I would like to remove the B and C commits. So that they do not show in the commit log, but changes from A to D should be preserved. Maybe by introducing a single commit, so that B and C become BC and the tree looks like.
R--A--BC--D--E--HEAD
Or, ideally, after A comes D directly. D' representing changes from A to B, B to C and C to D.
R--A--D'--E--HEAD
Is this possible? if yes, how?
Some notes that might be helpful:
This is a fairly new project so has no branches as of now, hence no merges as well.
Side note:
It's a personal project, so no, I'm not trying to destroy any evidence :)
