HOWTO: Change the message of a pushed commit
git rebase -i
- In you editor now change
pick
toreword
on the line for the incorrect commit. - Once you have done, save and close.
- Now the editor opens again with the message to correct. Do your correction, save and close
git push --force
This method will rewrite the history of your repository. If someone pulled/fetched from the repo between the commit with the wrong message and when you correct it, he/she could have some issues. It would be useful to communicate to anyone involved about your action.
