What does the command 'git rebase -i HEAD~3' do?

The command git rebase -i HEAD~3 is used to perform an interactive rebase in Git. Here's what it does:

• git rebase: This command is used to reapply commits on top of another base tip.
• -i: This flag stands for "interactive," allowing you to modify the commits during the rebase process.
• HEAD~3: This specifies the range of commits to rebase. HEAD refers to the current commit, and ~3 means to go back three commits from HEAD.

When you run this command, Git will open your default text editor with a list of the last three commits. You can then choose to edit, squash, or reorder these commits as needed. This allows you to reshape your commit history before pushing it to a remote repository.
