Delete a bad commit

Current history:

Good1(HEAD) - Good2 - Bad - Good3 - Good4 ...

We want to remove Bad commit and result like this:

Good1(HEAD) - Good2 - Good3 - Good4 ...

Use git rebase -i

git rebase -i Good3

An interactive prompt is shown:

pick Bad
pick Good2
pick Good1

Edit as below (drop commit Bad):

drop Bad
pick Good2
pick Good1

Then finish rebasing.
