Remove old git commits

by

If you truly wish to delete them (wiping them from history, never to be seen any more), you can

run rebase:

git rebase -i HEAD~4

and then, just delete (or comment out) the lines corresponding to the commits you wish to delete, like so:

pick 2f05aba ... #will be preserved
#pick 3371cec ... #will be deleted
#pick daed25c ... #will be deleted
pick e2b2a84 ... #will be preserved
