Subject: Editing a typo in the message given to "git commit"
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 08:19:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201608211519.u7LFJiMR090069@shell1.rawbw.com> (raw)
I am learning how to use git. I would like to know:
How can I correct a typo in the message I gave to an old "git commit"? I see
that the typo occurs in exactly two files in .git:
.git/logs/refs/heads/master
.git/logs/HEAD
/usr/bin/file says that they are both ASCII English text. So I could just
hand edit them. But that seems somehow sacrilegious and might break git.
