# Git history editor

**Git history editor** is an easy-to-use online tool hosted by Github Pages, intended to help you edit your past commits.

Just type [`git.io/editor`](https://git.io/editor) to use it ⚡️

## How it works

Editing your git history takes 3 main steps:

### Step 1: Import

In order to import information about past commits in any project, Git History Editor asks you the result of your `git log`.

Because this log is made to be read by a program, it is formatted using the `--pretty=format` option of `git log`, then encoded

to `base64` to avoid problems with carriage returns or spaces. 

Only the last 100 commits are imported, because a really huge commit history could drastically slow down your browser, or even make it crash.

The import command to run is the following:

```bash

git log -100 --pretty=format:"%H*#%an*#%ae*#%at*#%s" | base64 | tr -d "\n"

```

### Step 2: Edit

Git History Editor has a nice UI designed to let you edit what you want in each one of your past commits, or create a rule that will apply to multiple commits. [Just try it](https://git.io/editor).

### Step 3: Export

When the `edit` step is finished, Git History Editor provides a script that you can run in order to apply the changes immediatly.

This script uses the `git filter-branch` command, which is the less painful way to rewrite a git branch history with precision.
