How to execute 'git comit --amend' in bash script

Question

I'm trying to amend a git commit via a shell script.

#!/bin/bash 
git commit -as --amend

The script stalls waiting for me to enter :wq!

git commit -m "some message" is fine in script, exiting as desired but not for amend. Can anyone advise on this?

It created new commit when tried. – mickt Oct 09 '19 at 12:44 — mickt, Oct 09 '19 at 12:44

The --no-edit flag does just that.

git commit -as --amend --no-edit

Thank you! Strange that git commit -h does not show --no-edit as an option. – mickt Oct 09 '19 at 12:44
