Git Amend Tutorial: Rewrite Git History
The better way to learn Git: https://learngit.io/
----
What is the Git amend command, and how do you use it? Git amend allows you to both rewrite the previous commit's message, and/or add files to that commit you may have forgotten. Amend is a form of editing or updating Git history. In this tutorial I'll explain how to use amend to rewrite git history (including the most used commands "git commit --amend" and "git commit --amend -m"). As always, I'll illustrate the concepts with live animations alongside the actual commands.
