Rewriting the most recent commit message

On the command line, navigate to the repository that contains the commit you want to amend.

Type git commit --amend and press Enter.

In your text editor, edit the commit message, and save the commit. You can add a co-author by adding a trailer to the commit.

Git bisect

Need to find the commit that introduced a bug?

Use git bisect.

You use it by first telling it a "bad" commit that is known to contain the bug, and a "good" commit that is known to be before the bug was introduced.
