Kata 7: Reordering history

The commits here have obviously been made by a mad man. Unfortunately they actually contain useful information - it's just that the history is weird. You should fix this such that our git log looks great!

Setup

1. Run source setup.sh (or .\setup.ps1 in PowerShell)

Task

Reorder the history such that it actually makes sense - add the files in the order that matches their name.

1. Use git log --oneline --graph to view the commits
2. Also try git reflog to view the commits. git reflog defaults to git reflog show and this is an alias for git log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline
3. Use git rebase -i <after-this-commit> to reorder the commits. There are commments in the file you edit that explain the commands available.
4. Use git log --oneline --graph to view the result

useful commands

• git rebase -i <after-this-commit>
• git log --oneline --graph
• git reflog
