.TP
\-s|\-\-signoff
Add Signed\-off\-by line at the end of the commit message\&.

.TP
\-v|\-\-verify

\-n|\-\-no\-verify
The opposite of \-\-verify\&.

.TP
\-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\&.

.TP
--
