instead of --amend?
Instead of adding or removing a space in random files when making cute and useless commit logs.
that's what I meant - "amend" would not create any extra commits/entries

#15Cool What are those commit messages?
Looks like an attempt to make the main GitHub page (the part above the README) display something interesting. It is messed up now because of further commits, but you can see what it looked like at the time here:

See the spread-the-word script in https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/main/spot...
This script generates a series of shell commands to create a "spotlight" message on the main GitHub repository page. It does this by generating commands that make trivial changes to the top 12 files and directories and then commit those changes with custom messages.
