Interactive Rebase (For Older or Multiple Commits)

If you need to update messages for multiple commits or older commits, use interactive rebase:

• Start an interactive rebase:

 git rebase -i HEAD~n   

Note: Replace `n` with the number of commits you want to go back

• In the interactive editor, choose the commit(s) you want to edit by replacing `pick` with `reword` (or `edit` for more complex changes).
• Update the commit messages as necessary and save the changes.
• Complete the rebase process by following the prompts. If you used `edit`, you will need to re-commit the changes.

Important: Be cautious when rewriting shared commit history, especially if other collaborators are working on the same branch.
