I want to edit summary of old commit in GitHub desktop. There looks no option to edit. I hope there is a way with GUI. But please let me know commands if there is no way without it.

    [You do understand that by modifying the edit summary, you will be creating a new commit, which is unlikely what you actually want to do.](https://help.github.com/en/github/committing-changes-to-your-project/changing-a-commit-message). The use of the GitHub desktop client does not change this behavior. – Ramhound Nov 01 '19 at 19:19

There isn't an option due to the fact it isn't a feature set of Git.

Changing a commit message, indicates that modifying the commit summary, you are actually submitting a new commit.

In Git, the text of the commit message is part of the commit. Changing the commit message will change the commit ID--i.e., the SHA1 checksum that names the commit. Effectively, you are creating a new commit that replaces the old one.
