Changing a commit message

If a commit message contains unclear, incorrect, or sensitive information, you can amend it locally and push a new commit with a new message to GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You can also change a commit message to add missing information.

Resolving a merge conflict using the command line

You can resolve merge conflicts using the command line and a text editor.

Creating and deleting branches within your repository

You can create or delete branches directly on GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Creating a pull request
