How can I change a log entry in Git?

Question

I commited a new log entry with:

git commit -am "newLogEntry"

Now I want to change the name of my last log entry... (overwriting the last one).

How can I do that? What is the code for that in Git?

Answer 1

If you want to change the name of the last commit, you can write

git commit --amend -m "New name".
