Hi

Sorry for this question that might appear soo simple but I'm a little=20
bit lost :-(

When editing my code, I like to --amend it a lot between bigger commits=
=2E=20
But when looking on gitk, I see that
git commit blabla --amend

does create each and every time a new commit, I mean: with git log,=20
there is only one commit, but on gitk, I see many, with the same name=20
but different revision ID.... My understanding was that it would only=20
replace, not create each time a new revision.. Could you please explain=
=20
me where I=E0m wrong and what is happening exactly?

=46urthermore, if I wish to delete all those intermediary amend commit,=
=20
can I do it? If yes, how?

Thanks a lot for this help!

Matthieu
