Amend last git commit
Fix your last commit:
git commit --amend
Modify commit message if needed and push it to the repo:
git push origin mybranch
If you already pushed the commit you might need to force the push:
git push origin mybranch -f

I'm sure you know this, but it's worth noting for those reading that don't. You will need to git add your changes before you git commit --amend (like you usually do.)
Also, if you've already pushed the commit, force pushing to a remote repository can be very dangerous and I only recommend it if you absolutely know that no one has fetched those changes (like in the instance that you're working on a branch that no one else is working on.) Force pushing just needs to be done with a little caution, because it can cause major problems for other people who have based their work off of what would then be an invalid history.
