git commit --amend without asking for message [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

How to amend a commit without changing commit message (reusing the previous one)? (6 answers)

Closed 4 years ago.

From time to time I find myself commit-amending using the same message.

Typically, I do:

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

There is anyway to tell git that I don't want to change the commit message (skipping the step of opening my text editor and saving the message)? Like:

1. Add my changes to staging area.
2. Tell git to amend my staging area to the last commit without asking me for another message.

---

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

This will amend the latest commit, using that same message, in one command:

git commit --amend -C HEAD
