[Git]: fatal: invalid upstream 'origin/master~2'-CodePudding

I am trying to do a rebase on the remote branch, but I get the following error:

$ git rebase -i origin/master~2 master
# fatal: invalid upstream 'origin/master~2'

I have tried to do a git fetch and git pull but it doesn't fix the problem.

In the git log I can see the following:

CodePudding user response：

If you only have 2 commits, you cannot rebase onto the third-last. origin/master is 611e38; origin/master~1 is 8ae591; origin/master~2 does not exist. If you want to rebase all commits, including the root commit, use git rebase -i --root.

CodePudding user response：

That's not gonna fly because origin/master~2 does not exist. Try git rebase -i --root master
