Remove commits before specific commit

Question

Is there a way to remove all commits before a specified commit and use that commit as the initial?

Answer 1

The more easier solution would be, Consider originally your branch has commit main and you did a commit first, now you also did a commit second on top of first. So you have something like:

main->first->second

Now you want to have second on top of main rather than on top of first. Something like:

main->second->first or main->second

You can simply do,

git rebase -i main

This will give you an interactive shell where you can rearrange the order of commits or remove any commit of your choice.
