# glab-stack-amend(1)

Save your changes to an existing diff. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## NAME

glab-stack-amend - Save your changes to an existing diff. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## SYNOPSIS

**glab stack amend \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Adds your changes to the diff you have checked out. Its merge request updates the next time you run **glab stack sync**, which also rebases the diffs after it.

To create a new diff from your changes instead, use **glab stack save**.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development\_stages\_support/.

## OPTIONS

**-a**, **--all**\[=false\]\
 	Automatically stage modified and deleted tracked files.

**-d**, **--description**=""\
 	A description of the change.

**-m**, **--message**=""\
 	Alias for the description flag.

**--no-verify**\[=false\]\
 	Bypass the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks of [git-commit(1)](/git-commit/1.md).

**--reword**\[=false\]\
 	Only update the commit message without staging any files.

## OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

**-h**, **--help**\[=false\]\
 	Show help for this command.

**-R**, **--repo**=""\
 	Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
