Is there a way to do a git commit --amend that automatically uses the old commit message instead of prompting us to edit the old one?

I know I just need to type in <ESC>:q but if there was some other argument I'd pass in the git commit, I'd prefer it that way.

Thanks!

Sure:

git commit --amend -C HEAD
