resize image to a specific resolution/pixel

convert -resize 1024X768 source.png dest.jpg #(keep aspect ratio)

convert -resize 1024X768! source.png dest.jpg #(not keep aspect ratio)

just a side note on how to resize image in scipy for cnn.

my_image = “image.jpg” # change this to the name of your image file
fname = “images/” + my_image
image = np.array(ndimage.imread(fname, flatten=False))
my_image = scipy.misc.imresize(image, size=(300,225)).reshape((3002253,1))
my_image = my_image/255.

modify a specified commit in git

First rebase to the commit right before the one you want to change. Make the change. Commit. Rebase back.

You can use git rebase, for example, if you want to modify back to commit bbc643cd, run

$ git rebase --interactive bbc643cd^ 

In the default editor, modify ‘pick’ to ‘edit’ in the line whose commit you want to modify. Make your changes and then commit them with the same message you had before:

$ git commit -a --amend --no-edit 

to modify the commit, and after that

$ git rebase --continue 

to return back to the previous head commit.
