Edit an incorrect commit message in Git that has already been pushed

git, git-commit, git-push

Solution

`git commit --amend` will allow you to edit the commit message.

If you already pushed that commit, you need to run `git push --force`. Only do that if you are sure nobody pulled it yet!

If people pulled the commit from your repo, simply leave the message as it is.

Problem

I did a Git commit and push, but wrote the totally wrong thing in the comment. How do I change the comment? I have already pushed the commit to the remote.
