Git Amend
To amend is to replace the last commit with a new one, using git commit --amend. You can fix the message, add changes you forgot, or both.
The amended commit gets a new hash. Only amend commits you have not pushed yet.
Fix a typo in the last commit message
git log --oneline -1

Stage the change, then amend with --no-edit to keep the message:
git add index.html
git commit --amend --no-edit
