Hello!
I'm pretty new to all of this, but I was wondering. Is there an easier way of rebasing if you just want to force send a file back to a previous commit? Rebasing can get quite tiresome in the long run. It's like 7 steps, and that's without the merge conflicts someone with my luck is guaranteed to run into.
For instance, say I've made changes to a file. Those changes are too tiny and insignificant to make a new commit out of - they actually ought to be part of a commit I made last night.
If there just was a way to cheat :) I'm aware it would rewrite my entire history but that's okay, I haven't shared my repo with anybody yet. Maybe something along the lines of "git rebase --off-she-goes <file> <hash>"?
As opposed to "git stash && git rebase --interactive '<hash>^' && <change pick => edit> && <apply changes manually> && git add <file> && git commit --amend && git rebase --continue && git stash pop && <merge conflict that requires manual intervention> && git rebase --continue && git stash pop && <still a conflict> && rm <file> && git checkout <file> && <repeat the whole process> && <still a conflict> && <go to IRC and ask for help>
Might have gotten the above sequence of commands a bit wrong, I just learned how to rebase a few days ago. But hopefully y'all get my point.
Thanks!
