In the git history, I have a branch with 5 file changes. On each change has it's own commit, this means I end up having 5 commit's.
What is the best way to take out the second and fourth commit?

1Do you mean you don't want the changes from the 2nd and 4th commit, or that you want all the changes but want the history to have only 3 commits? – Mark Adelsberger Apr 04 '17 at 14:07

Interactive rebase, remove those commits from the list that shows up. – Mad Physicist Apr 06 '17 at 19:41

Run git rebase -i HEAD^6. This will show a list of the last five commits along with their messages. Delete the lines with the commits that you don't want, save and quit the editor.
You may have some conflicts to resolve, but when you are done, your branch will contain three of the five commits.
