# Git Authors - Git Commit (Highlights) ![rw-book-cover|256](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article4.6bc1851654a0.png) ## Highlights - The commit created by `--fixup=amend:`*<commit>* is similar but its title is instead prefixed with "amend!". The log message of *<commit>* is copied into the log message of the "amend!" commit and opened in an editor so it can be refined. When `git` `rebase` `--autosquash` squashes the "amend!" commit into *<commit>*, the log message of *<commit>* is replaced by the refined log message from the "amend!" commit.
