Can one amend a git commit message using IntelliJ, or should one resort to command line?

How can this be done please?

View => Tool Windows => Version Control. (Windows (Alt + 9) / OS X (Cmd + 9))

IntelliJ 2017.1 and higher => Go to Log and right click + reword or press F2.

IntelliJ rename commit

While you are on the same branch, ( your checked out branch is the same )
