Git - Rebasing

Agit rebase -i HEAD~3

Bgit rebase -i HEAD^3

Cgit rebase -i HEAD~

Dgit rebase -i HEAD^^3

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall the syntax for interactive rebase
The correct syntax uses HEAD~N to specify the last N commits, so HEAD~3 means last 3 commits.
Step 2: Check other options for syntax errors
HEAD^3 and HEAD^^3 are invalid for this purpose; HEAD~ is incomplete.
Final Answer:
git rebase -i HEAD~3 -> Option A
