I used to use

gt ca -an

to modify my previous commit whenever I wanted to make small changes without a new commit. To my understanding that should now be

gt modify

. Now though, after staging files,

gt modify

tells me I’d be committing an empty commit, even though the changes are staged.

~/rasayel/rasayel-core jonny/eng-2941 *32 +1 ❯ gt modify

No changes
You asked to amend the most recent commit, but doing so would make
it empty. You can repeat your command with --allow-empty, or you can
remove the commit entirely with "git reset HEAD^".
ERROR: Command failed with error exit code 1:
git commit --amend --no-edit

Am I doing something wrong?

version 1.0.6

Your first sentence is correct. Based on git's error here, it looks like you've hit a case where your amend would would result in the commit having no changes and we aren't calling

commit --amend

in such a way that would allow that to happen

Interesting, what’s weird here is I absolutely had changes, I made a fresh commit and it then worked, with the new changes. Not sure what happened. But it’s been working since so probably all good
