Here is the way with full steps to go to a specific commit in Git.

1. git clone https://github.com/thoughtbot/bitters
2. cd bitters
3. git checkout 95cd30a  

#  You can find your commit number in git logs or in website.

4. git log

git commit --amend -m "New commit message." But only for the previous commit and the commit has not been pushed to a remote repository.
