Say your commit has SHA1 abc123, you can do for example:

git rebase -i abc123^

delete the first line, save and quit. This will replay the whole history since that commit, so it can create conflicts, which you'll need to resolve by hand.

git rebase -i HEAD~5

In the text editor that comes up delete the rogue commit, then save and exit.

You may find a guide to interactive rebase helpful
