Re: Query on git commit amend

Hello,

Suppose i want to add few new changes to my last commit (HEAD).
The way i do it is
$ git add all_changed_files
$ git commit --amend

OR
$ git commit --amend -a

With both these ways, i get a screen to edit the message too.

I want to know if there is a way to skip this screen.

i.e.
$ git commit --amend -a -some_other_option

which simply adds new changes to existing commit, without asking to change
message.

$ git commit --amend -a -C HEAD

But let's count keystrokes (after -a):

<BLANK>-<SHIFT>C<BLANK>HEAD<ENTER>
10 keystrokes (more if you release SHIFT before D)

But if vi pops up you have:

<ENTER><SHIFT>ZZ
4 keystrokes

Where is the advantage of the option?
