Git beginner here...
I use it with Visual Studio exclusively. I've made 18 commits since the last push to the remote server and commit number 5 has a large file in it that I did not intent to be in there. Because it is over 100MB, I cannot push to the remote server.
How do I edit that old commit and remove that file?
If you can use the command-line git tool, it's easy. Assuming your remote tracking branch is origin/master:
git rebase -i origin/master
This will bring up an editor containing a list of your unpushed commits. Find the commit you want to edit, change the word pick to edit, save and exit.
You should see a message stating that you're now editing the commit in question. Now just:
git rm big_bad_file
git commit --amend
git rebase --continue
And you're done.
Well, you can delete commit number 5 from commit history.
git log -to see the various commit, with their hash values
and use git reset hash value- to uncommit that from history and also remove form staging area and then you can delete that file and commit again
