DESCRIPTION
-----------
Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
the user can further edit the commit message.
+--fixup=<commit>::
+ Construct a commit message for use with `rebase --autosquash`.
+ The commit message will be the subject line from the specified
+ commit with a prefix of "fixup! ". See linkgit:git-rebase[1]
+ for details.
+
+--squash=<commit>::
+ Construct a commit message for use with `rebase --autosquash`.
+ The commit message subject line is taken from the specified
+ commit with a prefix of "squash! ". Can be used with additional
+ commit message options (`-m`/`-c`/`-C`/`-F`). See
+ linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details.
+
--reset-author::
- When used with -C/-c/--amend options, declare that the
- authorship of the resulting commit now belongs of the committer.
- This also renews the author timestamp.
+ When used with -C/-c/--amend options, or when committing after a
+ a conflicting cherry-pick, declare that the authorship of the
+ resulting commit now belongs of the committer. This also renews
+ the author timestamp.
--short::
When doing a dry-run, give the output in the short-format. See
-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 mode parameter is optional (defaults to 'all'), and is used to

+default is 'normal', i.e. show untracked files and directories.
+
The possible options are:
+
- '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.
+The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
+configuration variable documented in linkgit:git-config[1].
