git rebase -i HEAD ~ 3 gives an error

Question

I decided to use git rebase -i HEAD~3 to merge the three commits, but I got the following error (below). Help solve this problem.

$ git rebase -i HEAD ~ 3
/ mingw64 / libexec / git-core / git-rebase - interactive: eval: line 255: syntax error near unexpected token '('
/ mingw64 / libexec / git-core / git-rebase - interactive: eval: line 255: 'C: / Program Files (x86) / Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 / Common7 / IDE / devenv.exe "$ @"'

Additional Information:

I use GitExtensions as a wrapper for working with git and tied vsdiffmerge as a merge tool to this case.

I do not know why, but the message indicates the installation path of Visual Studio. Visual Studio Version: 2015 Update 3.

Try double-checking your .gitconfig for errors, quotes, slashes, etc.
Make visible hidden files see the directory of the user or your repository to find gitconfig

It’s like an error somewhere in the git application itself. Instead of git rebase -i, you can do this:

 git reset --soft HEAD~3. # указатель HEAD переставляется на три коммита назад # изменения из этих коммитов остались и уже проиндексированы (добавлены) # можно делать коммит: git commit # пишем сообщение нового коммита

git rebase -i HEAD ~ 3 gives an error
