Editing the git commit message in GitHub

by

GitHub’s instructions for doing this:

  1. On the command line, navigate to the repository that contains the commit you want to amend.
  2. Type git commit --amend and press Enter.
  3. In your text editor, edit the commit message and save the commit.
  4. Use the git push --force origin example-branch command to force push over the old commit.
