Change the last commit

Command

git commit --amend

Modify the most recent commit
Combine staged changes with the most recent commit, instead of creating a new commit
Amending does not just alter the most recent commit, it replaces it entirely
- Meaning the amended commit will be a new entity with its own ref
- Amended commits are actually entirely new commits and the previous commit will no longer be on your current branch.
Running this command when there is nothing staged lets you edit the previous commit’s message without altering its snapshot
Adding the -m option allows you to pass in a new message from the command line without being prompted to open an editor.

git commit --amend -m "an updated commit message"

The --no-edit flag will allow you to make the amendment to your commit without changing its commit message
