Git Commit Message
A commit message is the text saved with a commit. It tells others (and your future self) what changed and why.
Keep the first line short and clear, like "Added image to Hello World". Use -m to write it on the command line; without -m, Git opens your editor.
Write a message with -m
git commit -m "Added new line to index.html"
[main 90fe82c] Added new line to index.html

--amend replaces the last commit with a new one that has the new message:
git commit --amend -m "Added .gitignore"
