Change commit message in intellij after push-CodePudding

I pushed my git commit and realised the commit message is incorrect. How can I change the commit message from Intellij? I am the only one using the remote feature branch with this commit. What are the drawbacks of doing this?

You can use Edit commit message action in Git Log in IDE as mentioned here:

Let's suppose you did your first commit already and you want to change. Simply open the terminal inside Intellij.

First check your commit by typing:

git log --oneline

after, if you decide to change your commit, you simply type:

git commit --amend -m "new commit that overrides first commit"

you can again check your commit by typing git log --oneline and if you are okay with everything, you can push it to the remote repo.
