Git kata: Amending commits

When we are working, we make a lot of commits. Sometimes we just forget something obvious that we want to fix quickly.

git commit --amend allows us to do that - tinker with the last commit we made.

Setup:

1. Run . setup.sh (or .\setup.ps1 in PowerShell)

The task

1. What does git status tell us?
2. What does git log tell us?
3. Stage the addition of bar.txt
4. Run git commit --amend
5. What happened? What does git log tell us?
6. What happens if you run git commit --amend again?

Useful commands

• git add
• git log --oneline --graph
• git commit --amend
