## NAME

reword - Reword commits

## SYNOPSIS

**reword** \[**--hidden**\] \[**-f**\|**--force-rewrite**\] \[**-m**\|**--message**\] \[**--fixup**\] \[**-d**\|**--discard**\] \[**-h**\|**--help**\] \[*REVSETS*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Reword commits

## OPTIONS

- **--hidden**

  Include hidden commits in the results of evaluating revset expressions

- **-f**, **--force-rewrite**

  Force rewording public commits, even though other people may have access to those commits

- **-m**, **--message** *\<MESSAGES\>*

  The commit message to use. Multiple messages will be combined as separate paragraphs, similar to \`git commit\`. If not provided, you will be prompted to provide a commit message interactively

- **--fixup** *\<COMMIT\_TO\_FIXUP\>*

  A commit to "fix up". The message will be prefixed with \`fixup!\` following the supplied commit, suitable for use with \`git rebase --autosquash\`

- **-d**, **--discard**

  Throw away the original commit messages.

  If \`commit.template\` is set, then the editor is pre-populated with that; otherwise, the editor starts empty.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print help (see a summary with '-h')

- \[*REVSETS*\] \[default: stack() \| @\]

  Zero or more commits to reword
