@Zpg,

If you want to remove all of the daily commits from a Git repository, you can use the following command, which will remove the last 5 commits.

git rebase -i HEAD~5

After removing commits, you’ll need to force push the changes to the remote repository.

git push origin  --force

$ sudo etckeeper vcs status

It show me which files changed:

  • modified: hosts
  • modified: nginx/vhosts.d/phpmyadmin.conf

Ok, thats correct, next if I do agree commit changes

$ sudo etckeeper commit "changed hosts and phpmyadmin config files"

changed hosts? that is the syntax, PHPMyAdmin config files? your example shows other commands: no changes added to commit (use “git add” and/or “git commit -a” )

So, which are command corrects?

Thanks in advanced
Rogelio
