Fix git commit message

I often forget to reference issues or documentation in commit messages.

To fix the latest commit message run

1
$ git commit --amend

edit and save the buffer. Done.

Want to edit an old commit message?

If you find a mistake in an older commit you can use git rebase interactive mode, with git rebase -i, and mark the change that requires correction for edit.
