Not sure what you did wrong. I guess to fix it you need to make a separate commit and push that. In general, before you push your changes to some public tree, you can engage in various forms of history rewriting. For instance, if you forgot something or realized you made a mistake in your latest commit, you can fix the error, and then do a "git commit --amend" which instead of creating a new commit will add your changes to your previous commit. Another option is the interactive rebase (git rebase -i). That allows you to e.g. "squash" commits, that is, combine two or more commits into one. -- Janne Blomqvist
