Git commit --amend

commit –amend modifies the most recent commit.

It combines the latest commit with the changing stag environment and creates a new commit.

Hence, the new commit is replaced with the latest commit entirely.

Git Amend Commit Message

Git –amend allows you to change a commit message.

Now, update the README.md and commit:

Example

[user@localhost] $ git commit -m “Adding plines to reddme”

[master 07c5bc5] Adding plines to reddme

1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

Check the log:

[user@localhost] $ git log –oneline

07c5bc5 (HEAD -> master) Adding plines to reddme

9a9add8 (origin/master) Added .gitignore

81912ba Corrected spelling error

Example
