Is there a way to do a "git commit --amend" that automatically uses the old commit message instead of prompting us to edit the old one?

Is there a way to do a git commit --amend that automatically uses the old commit message instead of prompting us to edit the old one?

I know I just need to type in <ESC>:q but if there was some other argument I'd pass in the git commit, I'd prefer it that way.

Thanks!

Sure:

git commit --amend -C HEAD

I recommend making this into an alias, so then you can just go `git amend` (or more often, `git amend -a`. Obviously you could include the -a in the alias if you want) – Tyler Apr 23 '11 at 18:48
