I want to change a previous pushed commit message. Also, I have pushed other commits after that. If I change the commit message will older message be shown in Git commit history.

To change the commit message when cherry-picking, use “git cherry-pick” with the “-e” option.

$ git cherry-pick -e <hash>

As illustrated in this example, your default editor will open and it will let you change the commit message.

When you are satisfied with the edits, save your file and your commit message should be saved successfully.
