What if I forget to sign-off my last commit, how can I fix the last commit within Magit?
I can do that with git command:
$ git commit --signoff --amend
Of cause I can write the sign-off by hand in the rebase reword buffer, but does Magit provide easy way to do?
What you are wanting to do is change (rewrite) the last commit message to add the signed-off line.
Go to the git status window (a common key binding is C-x g)
type c to get into commit
type -s to enable the signed-off line
type w to reword the last commit message, check that you have the wanted signed-off field.
type C-cC-c to do the commit
-s as the defaultYou can set the -s option as the default by
type c to go to commit
If needed, type C-t to enable the common options
type -s to toggle the signed-off, toggle other options as desired.
type C-cC-c to set the defaults.
commit command. It's exactly what I type in the command line. git commit --signoff --amend. It's just that magit is better than git, and using reword, which translates to --amend --only.

C-t isn't bound to anything when using magit. Am I missing something? Thanks!

C-t is bound to transient-show for me. I see from other answers that magit has advanced in the last 4 years, and I don't seem to need the C-t currently.
