Git commit --amend without requesting a message

Question

From time to time I find myself correcting using the same message.

Typically, I do:

• Add changes to the staging area.
• Do git commit --amend .
• Wait for the text editor to open.
• Save and close it (without changing the message).

In any case, to tell git that I don't want to change the commit message (skip the step of opening a text editor and save the message)? How:

• Add changes to the staging area.
• Tell git to change my staging area to the last commit without asking for another message.

---

I know that I can avoid git starting my text editor by doing git commit --amend -m "<message>" . But that way I would have to retype the message.

Answer 1

Try git commit --amend --no-edit .

Answer 2

This will change the last commit, using the same message, in one command:

 git commit --amend -C HEAD
