Git: Amend the last commit

A short, tested Git example for amend the last commit. Copy it and adjust the names and paths for your project.

Git

git commit --amend -m "Better message"
git add forgotten.txt && git commit --amend --no-edit

Amending rewrites history. Don't do it to commits you've already pushed to a shared branch.
