-        Used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree

-        object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual

-        (this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the

-        commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the

-        tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the

-        current tip&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;if it was a merge, it will have the parents of

-        the current tip as parents&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;so the current top commit is

-        discarded.

+        Replace the tip of the current branch by creating a new

+        commit. The recorded tree is prepared as usual (including

+        the effect of the <code>-i</code> and <code>-o</code> options and explicit

+        pathspec), and the message from the original commit is used

+        as the starting point, instead of an empty message, when no

+        other message is specified from the command line via options

+        such as <code>-m</code>, <code>-F</code>, <code>-c</code>, etc.  The new commit has the same

+        parents and author as the current one (the <code>--reset-author</code>

+        option can countermand this).
