When we are working, we make a lot of commits. Sometimes we just forget something obvious that we want to fix quickly.
echo "foo" > owhow.txt
echo "bar" > ohnooooooo.txt
git add owhow.txt
git commit -m "feature 73" git commit --amend allows us to do that - tinker with the last commit we made.
You can use git log -p or git show to inspect the contents of commits and file changes that were added to the commits.
