f you change a page’s text and want to merge it with the previous commit (i.e., not create a new commit but update the existing one), you can follow these steps:
1. Make the Changes
Make the changes you want to the file(s), such as updating the text on the page.
2. Stage the Changes
Stage the changes you just made using:
git add <file>
Replace <file> with the name of the file you modified, or use . to stage all modified files:
git add .
3. Amend the Previous Commit
Now, instead of creating a new commit, you will amend the previous one:
git commit –amend –no-edit
• –no-edit: This flag keeps the previous commit message intact while including your newly staged changes in the previous commit.
4. Push the Amended Commit
Since you are modifying a commit that has already been pushed to GitHub, you will need to force-push the changes:
git push –force
mportant Notes:
• Force-pushing rewrites the history of your repository, so be cautious if you’re working with others, as they will need to pull and reset their branches accordingly.
