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.
--u|--untracked-files::
+-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 be specified, which can be used to amend
+ 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.
--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.
