Common Git Workflows

Quick-reference guide for Git processes I use regularly.

Combine New Changes with the Last Commit (Amend)

To add new changes to your last commit without creating a separate one:

1. Stage your changes:

   git add .
   

2. Amend the last commit:

   git commit --amend
   

   • Edit the commit message in the editor if needed, then save and close.

   • Or use --no-edit to keep the original message:

     git commit --amend --no-edit

Note: If already pushed, force-push with git push --force (careful if others use the branch).
