git commit --amend 🔨

Made a mistake in your most recent commit? Haven't yet pushed your changes? No problem!

Stage your changes:

git add oopsies.py

Update your most recent commit.

git commit --amend

This essentially re-writes your most recent commit. If your changes are minor enough to not warrant any to the commit message you can use:

git commit --amend --no-edit

Nicely fixed! 😎

I already pushed my changes...

Option 1:

Live with it... Mistakes happen, git is meant to represent the history, your history is complicated!

Option 2: Push force:

git push --force-with-lease

The --force-with-lease flag tells git to abandon the force push if someone else has pushed commits to the branch. Failing to use this might mean that you overwrite someone else's contributions!
