How can I change the textual comment of my last GIT commit using IntelliJ? (I think that is the commit --amend operation)

Question

I am using GIT on IntelliJ and I have the following problem.

I have done a commit with a wrong text message (I have commited it into my staging area but not pushed on the remote repository). I want to change it. I thino that (from command line) I can change the comment of my last commit performing the command:

git commit --amend

How can I do the same thing by the IntelliJ GIT tool?

You can do it on the time you rebase your changes to remote branch.

VCS -> Git -> Rebase. Check Interactive. Choose your branches and continue.

Choose reword from the drop down forward to your commit. Start rebasing.

From the next window, you can change your commit message and resume rebasing. :))

Anyway for this kind of things which can be done by simple commands, it is much easier and fast to use the commands.

git commit --amend "<new message>"

In overall for git, it will be much efficient to use commands rather than tools. :))
