NAME
----
git-commit - Record changes to the repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git commit' [-a | --interactive] [-s] [-v] [-u<mode>] [--amend]
[(-c | -C) <commit>] [-F <file> | -m <msg>]
[--allow-empty] [--no-verify] [-e] [--author=<author>]
[--cleanup=<mode>] [--] [[-i | -o ]<file>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along
with a log message from the user describing the changes.
The content to be added can be specified in several ways:
1. by using 'git-add' to incrementally "add" changes to the
index before using the 'commit' command (Note: even modified
files must be "added");
2. by using 'git-rm' to remove files from the working tree
and the index, again before using the 'commit' command;
3. by listing files as arguments to the 'commit' command, in which
case the commit will ignore changes staged in the index, and instead
record the current content of the listed files (which must already
be known to git);
4. by using the -a switch with the 'commit' command to automatically
"add" changes from all known files (i.e. all files that are already
listed in the index) and to automatically "rm" files in the index
that have been removed from the working tree, and then perform the
actual commit;
5. by using the --interactive switch with the 'commit' command to decide one
by one which files should be part of the commit, before finalizing the
operation. Currently, this is done by invoking 'git-add --interactive'.
The 'git-status' command can be used to obtain a
summary of what is included by any of the above for the next
commit by giving the same set of parameters you would give to
this command.
If you make a commit and then find a mistake immediately after
that, you can recover from it with 'git-reset'.
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--all::
Tell the command to automatically stage files that have
been modified and deleted, but new files you have not
told git about are not affected.
-C <commit>::
--reuse-message=<commit>::
Take an existing commit object, and reuse the log message
and the authorship information (including the timestamp)
when creating the commit.
-c <commit>::
--reedit-message=<commit>::
Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
the user can further edit the commit message.
-F <file>::
--file=<file>::
Take the commit message from the given file. Use '-' to
read the message from the standard input.
--author=<author>::
Override the author name used in the commit. You can use the
standard `A U Thor <author@example.com>` format. Otherwise,
an existing commit that matches the given string and its author
name is used.
git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics. - "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional behaviour. It commits the current index. We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a subdirectory. - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...") is equivalent to: git update-index --remove paths... git commit - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an incompatible change that needs user training, which I am still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to have complained that it is confusing to them. It 1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs -i flag. 2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK. 3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file. 4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this temporary index. 5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working tree to the real index. 6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this new commit. - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree commit. - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new commit, the index is left as it was before the command is run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following sequence: $ git diff $ git commit -a $ git diff would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by making the commit log message empty. This commit also introduces much requested --author option. $ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

-m <msg>::
--message=<msg>::
Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
-t <file>::
--template=<file>::
Use the contents of the given file as the initial version
of the commit message. The editor is invoked and you can
make subsequent changes. If a message is specified using
the `-m` or `-F` options, this option has no effect. This
overrides the `commit.template` configuration variable.
-s::
--signoff::
Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit
log message.
-n::
--no-verify::
This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks.
See also linkgit:githooks[5].
--allow-empty::
Usually recording a commit that has the exact same tree as its
sole parent commit is a mistake, and the command prevents you
from making such a commit. This option bypasses the safety, and
is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts.
--cleanup=<mode>::
This option sets how the commit message is cleaned up.
The '<mode>' can be one of 'verbatim', 'whitespace', 'strip',
and 'default'. The 'default' mode will strip leading and
trailing empty lines and #commentary from the commit message
only if the message is to be edited. Otherwise only whitespace
removed. The 'verbatim' mode does not change message at all,
'whitespace' removes just leading/trailing whitespace lines
and 'strip' removes both whitespace and commentary.
-e::
--edit::
The message taken from file with `-F`, command line with
`-m`, and from file with `-C` are usually used as the
commit log message unmodified. This option lets you
further edit the message taken from these sources.
--amend::
Used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree
object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual
(this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the
commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the
tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the
current tip -- if it was a merge, it will have the parents of
the current tip as parents -- so the current top commit is
discarded.
+
--
It is a rough equivalent for:
------
$ git reset --soft HEAD^
$ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
------
but can be used to amend a merge commit.
--
+
You should understand the implications of rewriting history if you
amend a commit that has already been published. (See the "RECOVERING
FROM UPSTREAM REBASE" section in linkgit:git-rebase[1].)
-i::
--include::
Before making a commit out of staged contents so far,
stage the contents of paths given on the command line
as well. This is usually not what you want unless you
are concluding a conflicted merge.
-o::
--only::
Make a commit only from the paths specified on the
command line, disregarding any contents that have been
staged so far. This is the default mode of operation of
'git-commit' if any paths are given on the command line,
in which case this option can be omitted.
If this option is specified together with '--amend', then
no paths need to be specified, which can be used to amend
the last commit without committing changes that have
already been staged.
-u[<mode>]::
--untracked-files[=<mode>]::
Show untracked files (Default: 'all').
+
The mode parameter is optional, and is used to specify
the handling of untracked files. The possible options are:
+
--
- 'no' - Show no untracked files
- 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
- 'all' - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
--
+
See linkgit:git-config[1] for configuration variable
used to change the default for when the option is not
specified.
-v::
--verbose::
Show unified diff between the HEAD commit and what
would be committed at the bottom of the commit message
template. Note that this diff output doesn't have its
lines prefixed with '#'.
-q::
--quiet::
Suppress commit summary message.
\--::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
<file>...::
When files are given on the command line, the command
commits the contents of the named files, without
recording the changes already staged. The contents of
these files are also staged for the next commit on top
of what have been staged before.
EXAMPLES
--------
When recording your own work, the contents of modified files in
your working tree are temporarily stored to a staging area
called the "index" with 'git-add'. A file can be
reverted back, only in the index but not in the working tree,
to that of the last commit with `git reset HEAD -- <file>`,
which effectively reverts 'git-add' and prevents the changes to
this file from participating in the next commit. After building
the state to be committed incrementally with these commands,
`git commit` (without any pathname parameter) is used to record what
has been staged so far. This is the most basic form of the
command. An example:
------------
$ edit hello.c
$ git rm goodbye.c
$ git add hello.c
$ git commit
------------
Instead of staging files after each individual change, you can
tell `git commit` to notice the changes to the files whose
contents are tracked in
your working tree and do corresponding `git add` and `git rm`
for you. That is, this example does the same as the earlier
example if there is no other change in your working tree:
------------
$ edit hello.c
$ rm goodbye.c
$ git commit -a
------------
The command `git commit -a` first looks at your working tree,
notices that you have modified hello.c and removed goodbye.c,
and performs necessary `git add` and `git rm` for you.
After staging changes to many files, you can alter the order the
changes are recorded in, by giving pathnames to `git commit`.
When pathnames are given, the command makes a commit that
only records the changes made to the named paths:
------------
$ edit hello.c hello.h
$ git add hello.c hello.h
$ edit Makefile
$ git commit Makefile
------------
This makes a commit that records the modification to `Makefile`.
The changes staged for `hello.c` and `hello.h` are not included
in the resulting commit. However, their changes are not lost --
they are still staged and merely held back. After the above
sequence, if you do:
------------
$ git commit
------------
this second commit would record the changes to `hello.c` and
`hello.h` as expected.
After a merge (initiated by 'git-merge' or 'git-pull') stops
because of conflicts, cleanly merged
paths are already staged to be committed for you, and paths that
conflicted are left in unmerged state. You would have to first
check which paths are conflicting with 'git-status'
and after fixing them manually in your working tree, you would
stage the result as usual with 'git-add':
------------
$ git status | grep unmerged
unmerged: hello.c
$ edit hello.c
$ git add hello.c
------------
After resolving conflicts and staging the result, `git ls-files -u`
would stop mentioning the conflicted path. When you are done,
run `git commit` to finally record the merge:
------------
$ git commit
------------
As with the case to record your own changes, you can use `-a`
option to save typing. One difference is that during a merge
resolution, you cannot use `git commit` with pathnames to
alter the order the changes are committed, because the merge
should be recorded as a single commit. In fact, the command
refuses to run when given pathnames (but see `-i` option).
DISCUSSION
----------
Though not required, it's a good idea to begin the commit message
with a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the
change, followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.
Tools that turn commits into email, for example, use the first line
on the Subject: line and the rest of the commit in the body.

ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
---------------------------------------
The editor used to edit the commit log message will be chosen from the
GIT_EDITOR environment variable, the core.editor configuration variable, the
VISUAL environment variable, or the EDITOR environment variable (in that
order).
HOOKS
-----
This command can run `commit-msg`, `prepare-commit-msg`, `pre-commit`,
and `post-commit` hooks. See linkgit:githooks[5] for more
information.
