Magit - rename last commit

Question

How do I rename the last commit in Magit (ie. edit the commit message) ?

I can see it in magit-log-buffer-file, but I don't know how to interact with it.

Answer 2

There is a command called magit-commit-reword in latest Magit(Current version:v2.13.0)

Steps:

1. Press c (Commit) at commit. (I usually move cursor to the first line after typing magit-status command)
2. Press w (Reword)
3. Rename
4. Press C-c C-c to commit
5. Done

Magit manual can be found here: https://magit.vc/manual/magit.html (Search reword in the page)

c w (magit-commit-reword)

Reword the last commit, ignoring staged changes. With a prefix argument keep the committer date, otherwise change it. The option magit-commit-reword-override-date can be used to inverse the meaning of the prefix argument.
