I thought I remembered how to do it. git rebase -i some_commit~~
I entered "e" for the commit But at that point the commit is already done So I did git reset HEAD~ Then git status Strangely, the changed files did not match the commit I had rebased on. I thought I must have been mistaken in the past. I split the commit as I intended to (or I thought) and did rebase --continue Nothing wrong it seems. Later I find that the commit I had been wanting to rebase, was actually now lost. Oh the files are still in my working tree. By rebasing I lose my "date" history anyway of course, but I wanted to move stuff to a child repo. Did I do something wrong, or did I just fail to see the untracked files? I did: git stash -u git checkout -p stash ---> first commit git checkout -p stash ----> second commit git rebase --continue I think what happened is that for some reason those untracked files weren't part of the git stash && git checkout Then I failed to commit it, it got deleted, but because I had stashed my working directory prior, they popped out of the stash again. So all I need to do now is go back with rebase, insert a new commit in the appropriate place, and I'm done. But why does something always go wrong? It's such unfriendly software... :(. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
