Git Update Commit Message
One of my faults as a professional developer is that my commit messages aren't always as descriptive as they could be. Sometimes I even notice a spelling error in them. Bleh -- that's not cool, man. When I do catch that my last commit message isn't good enough, I find the following git command useful:

This is one of the things I do more frequently :-/
The good thing is that, with amend, you can also include in the commit new changes (provided that you have added them to the staging area).
The drawback is that it’s **bad** to amend a commit that has already been pushed to a remote repository.
May I point you to an article of my own, in which I describe some more solutions on how to change commit messages:

Be careful, this command rewrites history and shouldn’t be used if you already pushed your last commit.
And you are noticing it now? :D
One thing to remember is HASH is changed on amending.
And you are noticing it now? :D
Well, one thing to notice is that HASH of that particular commit is rewritten when amending.
