Deleting an Older Commit
If you need to delete an older commit, you can use an interactive rebase:
- Start an interactive rebase:
git rebase -i HEAD~N
Note: Replace `N` with the number of commits you want to go back.
- In the interactive editor that opens, find the commit you want to delete and remove its line.
- Save and close the editor. Git will rewrite the history without the deleted commit.
- Force push the updated history to the remote repository:
git push origin HEAD --force
