Usage: e.g. `git add -p ...` and then `git amend HEAD~5`. This would add the staged changes to the fifth last commit.
- Update an open PR without cluttering the history
- `git commit --amend --no-edit`
- `git push --force-with-lease origin <branch-name>`
- Perfect for fixing small nits or typos from code reviews. It updates the existing commit instead of adding a messy "fix typo" log.
