Edit pushed commit message in EGit

Question

I want to edit the commit message of a pushed commit.

I tried it using the "revert Commit" button, but got this error:

An internal error occurred Cannot revert commit '9b424b08c83baffd18c2d5dffbe5bdb902c0cf63' because it has 0 parents, only commits with exactly one parent are supported

Note: It's the Initial Commit.

Try git commit --amend. It'll allow you to change commit message of your last commit. More info here.

But I don't want to edit my last commit. I want to edit the first one. – Tarthalion Apr 25 '15 at 15:43
You can use interactive rebase for in that case. http://schacon.github.io/history.html – Amit Dalal Apr 25 '15 at 18:46
