Change commit message/amend commit

[lurk26]

It would really useful if GitLens allowed us to edit/amend commit messages in VSCode. The built-in VSCode git solution doesn't provide this feature.

Ammending the most recent commit is supported by the built-in git extension.

But built-in git extension doesn't allow to change commit message, only commit files.

The point was to do it in UI we know we can use shell thanks

Built-in git seems to be doing the job. Command Palette (ctrl + shift +P) -> "Git: Commit (Amend)" -> edit commit message -> press tick (V) in the upper right corner

That only works for the latest commit. I agree we would like a UI method of changing an older commit message.
