Is it possible to move the changes in a commit to before other changes on the tree so I can test those commits.
In this example I want to move ‘Romoved sess_match_useragent’ to before ‘Updated core to 2.1.0’ in the tree
Thanks

Yes, with
git rebase -i refspec.Here,
refspecwill be the identifier (either a SHA1 or a relative refspec) of the commit preceding your “Updated core” commit. This will open an editor with the commits and their order: move thepickline for your commit right before the “Updated core” one and quit the editor: git will rewrite the branch.Note that you may have to solve conflicts, however.
Read the help in the editor along with the list of commits, too: it contains a lot of useful tips, you can do plenty. For instance, just
rewordcommit messages if you have made spelling mistakes…In your case, as pointed out,
refspeccan heHEAD~17, ie “17 commits before ref HEAD” (HEAD is always the tip of the branch you are currently on).
