Git Commit Changes - Git (software)

What is Git Commit Changes?

Jerry has already dedicated the adjustments and he desires to correct his final commit. In this example, git amend operation will assist. The amend operation adjustments the final commit together with your commit message; it creates a new commit identity.

Before amend operation, he tests the commit log.

[jerry@CentOS project]$ git log

The above command will produce the following result.
