--amend your commit message

#git

I bet I'm not the only one who has committed in a hurry and regretted my commit message only a bit too late.

Not to worry!

git commit --amend -m "your new message"

PS:

@ydbondt that's embarrassing... I did a google site:coderwall.com search first, no relevant results showed up. I'll update it to link to yours:)
