I've always struggled with this myself, and would like to update my git knowledge. Can you walk me through the commands to do this? Let's say the commit id is `abcd1234` and it's 5 commits ago.

In JJ I'd do this:

    vim file/with/typo.txt
    jj squash -into abcd1234 file/with/typo.txt

Or if I was feeling more pedantic I'd do:

    jj edit abcd1234
    vim file/with/typo.txt
    jj edit <<my latest commit ID>>
