Add your changes to the previous commit and force-push it to GitHub

If you want to add the changes you made to a previous commit that you have already pushed to GitHub, you can follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are in the repository's working directory.

2. Stage the changes you want to add to the previous commit using the git add command:

   git add .
   

3. Amend the previous commit using the git commit --amend command:

   git commit --amend --no-edit
   

   The --no-edit option ensures that the commit message remains the same as the original commit.

4. Force-push the amended commit to GitHub using the git push --force command:

   git push --force origin <branch-name>
   

   Replace <branch-name> with the name of the branch where you made the changes.

By following these steps, you will amend the previous commit by including the changes you made. However, note that force-pushing can rewrite the commit history, which may cause issues if other people have already cloned the repository or based their work on the original commit. Use force-push with caution and communicate any changes to collaborators if necessary.

Please make sure to back up your repository or create a separate branch before attempting these steps to ensure you can revert or recover any unintended changes.
