# Deleting a commit with Git

[`🇻🇪 Spanish`](https://crisprogramando.hashnode.dev/eliminar-un-commit-con-git)

1.- You can do an interactive rebase with `git rebase -i HEAD~` command. In `HEAD~` you should indicate the numbers of the backward commit that you want to see.

```javascript
git rebase -i HEAD~3
```
