Description: Amend Commit in Git refers to the ability to make minor modifications to an existing commit. This process is essential for maintaining a clean and coherent change history, allowing developers to correct errors, add forgotten files, or modify commit messages without the need to create a new commit. The functionality of amending a commit is primarily achieved through the ‘git commit –amend’ command, which allows the user to edit the last commit made. By using this option, Git combines the current changes in the staging area with the previous commit, resulting in a new commit that replaces the old one. This process is not only useful for correcting mistakes but also helps maintain a clearer record of changes made to the project, facilitating collaboration among multiple developers. However, it is important to note that amending commits that have already been shared with others can cause confusion and conflicts in the repository’s history, so it is recommended to use this feature with caution and preferably on local commits that have not been pushed to a shared repository.
