Add to your last commit with the --amend flag

🚨 WARNING: only do this if you didn't push your last commit 🚨

If you committed but didn't push yet, you can use the command below to add your staged changes to the last commit without changing the commit message:

$git commit --amend --no-edit

It's great if you forgot to include one small change in your last commit before pushing.

But be careful, if you already pushed your commit, you should avoid using --amend because it will change the commit history and you will need to force push to the remote repository.

I highly recommend the Atlassian guide in the references because it includes a lot more detail, examples, and illustrations.
