 You can use git filter-branch in --msg-filter mode.

This is exactly what I am looking for. Good to know this git command.

Thanks!

 Note that in any case, you'll rewrite the history hence change commit
 identifiers. If the history is already published, it's probably better
 to live with the typo than to try to fix it now.

I am aware of that, it is my local branch, so no worry.

Thanks.

Editing git changelog automatically

[Cong Wang]

Hello, git experts


Sorry if this is a question already answered, but google search didn't
give me anything useful.

My question is how to edit dozens of git commit changelogs automatically?

Let's say I want to fix a stupid typo in all of these commits, as
simply as s/foo/bar/. Usually I use`git rebase -i` and `git commit
--amend`, but both of them are interactive, apparently I don't want to
edit them one by one. :)

I know I can change $EDITOR to something like `sed -e 's/foo/bar/'`,
but this seems pretty ugly. Is there a clean way to do that?

Thanks!
