I want to insert an empty initial commit so that I can rebase and edit

git-rebase but I can not find example of how to use it. 

Bill,

This sounds like a hard way to go about things.  Instead, you can edit
the files as you wish, "git add" the new edits, and then use
"git commit --amend" to alter the initial commit.   Don't think rebase
would help in the situation you describe.
