DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
-------
--a|--all::
+-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 or -C <commit>::
- Take existing commit object, and reuse the log message
+-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. With '-C', the editor is not
- invoked; with '-c' the user can further edit the commit
- message.
+ 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.
Override the author name used in the commit. Use
`A U Thor <author@example.com>` format.
--m <msg>|--message=<msg>::
+-m <msg>::
+--message=<msg>::
Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
--t <file>|--template=<file>::
+-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::
+-s::
+--signoff::
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
+-n::
--no-verify::
This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks.
- See also link:hooks.html[hooks].
+ See also linkgit:githooks[5][hooks].
--allow-empty::
Usually recording a commit that has the exact same tree as its
'whitespace' removes just leading/trailing whitespace lines
and 'strip' removes both whitespace and commentary.
--e|--edit::
+-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
but can be used to amend a merge commit.
--
--i|--include::
+-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::
+-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
the last commit without committing changes that have
already been staged.
--u|--untracked-files::
- Show all untracked files, also those in uninteresting
- directories, in the "Untracked files:" section of commit
- message template. Without this option only its name and
- a trailing slash are displayed for each untracked
- directory.
+-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::
+-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::
+-q::
+--quiet::
Suppress commit summary message.
