How to run git rebase interactive mode to remove duplicate commits


I made a mistake when I rebase to a recent commit. ( I forgot to git fetch --all first, then rebase), and I've committed and pushed to the remote branch since. Now I did the rebase properly by fetching first, solved the conflicts, and pushed to the remote branch. Now, it seems all my recent commits are showing up twice. What I would like to do is to use git rebase interactive mode, pick all the commits that I want, then rebase properly to the commit sha code.

Is this the way to do this? and if I start git rebase -i, which sha code should I use, the original branching point sha code? or the most recent sha code?


Solution

  • I successfully removed the duplicate commits. Here is what I did: hard reset to the branching point, pull from origin, start git rebase -i SHACODE (original branching point), pick the commits that I want to keep, git rebase to the current SHACODE.
