Sometimes you did make a commit, but forget to add the ticket number into the commit message, or realized that the commit message is incorrect or contains some spelling mistakes. In git, you can easily change the last commit message without changing any files, just with one line.
git --amend -m "your new commit message"
if you will not provide -m flag and text message you will have to type a new message in Vim
git --amend
