How to amend a Git commit

Need to change a git commit?

Don't waste your time with reset or revert commands. If you want to undo the last commit, or even change the git commit message, just do a git commit amend.

The git commit amend command will allow you to restage files and do a new commit that will replace the previous commit, essentially allowing you to amend your git commit history.

How do you amend a git commit? Just add, delete or modify files as you normally would, and when you're done, use git commit --amend instead of a regular git commit.

The new commit will replace the previous Git commit, allowing you to fix and change your git commit history with the amend.

Then this is not a git amend at all...git amend is to make modifications to a commit, it should not change commit ID
