Working on large pull requests can be hard. It often is even harder to review them. A clean commit history can help reviewers out. Naming the commits consistently can help in that regard. Often it is hard to do this consistently beforehand, so sometimes it would be nice to rename commits after already committing them.

In this post I'll explain 3 methods of renaming commits:

• Rename the last commit using git commit --amend
• Rename commits one-by-one using git rebase and reword
• Rename commits in batch using git rebase and amend
