Edit Commit Message Understanding
Answered
I created a NEW branch off of main that only I am working on. I made a few commits and pushed them to the remote branch. Then I realized I had a typo in the commit messages. I clicked Edit Commit Message and changed the message locally. I assume I have to PUSH this change. So when I when to push the change I got the following message. Please advise and if this is how it is supposed to work, do I rebase or merge?

Hi,
When you are editing a commit locally you are performing a rebase.
You need to perform Rebase as it will keep your history as it is. If you perform a Merge (the source code will remain the same) but a merge commit will appear.
