git commit

Commit files to the repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit.
  • Commit staged files to the repository with a message:
    git commit --message "{{message}}"
  • Commit staged files with a message read from a file:
    git commit --file {{path/to/commit_message_file}}
  • Auto stage all modified and deleted files and commit with a message:
    git commit --all --message "{{message}}"
  • Commit staged files and sign them with the specified GPG key (or the one defined in the config file if no argument is specified):
    git commit --gpg-sign {{key_id}} --message "{{message}}"
  • Update the last commit by adding the currently staged changes, changing the commit's hash:
    git commit --amend
  • Commit only specific (already staged) files:
    git commit {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}
  • Create a commit, even if there are no staged files:
    git commit --message "{{message}}" --allow-empty
