\r
281 <p>Updates the index file for given paths, or all modified files if
\r
282 <em>-a</em> is specified, and makes a commit object. The command
\r
283 VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables to edit the commit log
\r
285 <p>Several environment variable are used during commits. They are
\r
286 documented in <a href="git-commit-tree.html">git-commit-tree(1)</a>.</p>
\r
287 <p>This command can run <tt>commit-msg</tt>, <tt>pre-commit</tt>, and
\r
288 <tt>post-commit</tt> hooks. See <a href="hooks.html">hooks</a> for more
\r
292 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
299 Update all paths in the index file. This flag notices
\r
300 files that have been modified and deleted, but new files
\r
301 you have not told git about are not affected.
\r
305 -c or -C <commit>
\r
309 Take existing commit object, and reuse the log message
\r
310 and the authorship information (including the timestamp)
\r
311 when creating the commit. With <em>-C</em>, the editor is not
\r
312 invoked; with <em>-c</em> the user can further edit the commit
\r
321 Take the commit message from the given file. Use <em>-</em> to
\r
322 read the message from the standard input.
\r
326 --author <author>
\r
330 Override the author name used in the commit. Use
\r
331 <tt>A U Thor <author@example.com></tt> format.
\r
339 Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
\r
347 Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
\r
355 Look for suspicious lines the commit introduces, and
\r
356 abort committing if there is one. The definition of
\r
357 <em>suspicious lines</em> is currently the lines that has
\r
358 trailing whitespaces, and the lines whose indentation
\r
359 has a SP character immediately followed by a TAB
\r
360 character. This is the default.
\r
368 The opposite of <tt>--verify</tt>.
\r
376 The message taken from file with <tt>-F</tt>, command line with
\r
377 <tt>-m</tt>, and from file with <tt>-C</tt> are usually used as the
\r
378 commit log message unmodified. This option lets you
\r
379 further edit the message taken from these sources.
\r
387 Instead of committing only the files specified on the
\r
388 command line, update them in the index file and then
\r
389 commit the whole index. This is the traditional
\r
398 Commit only the files specified on the command line.
\r
399 This format cannot be used during a merge, nor when the
\r
400 index and the latest commit does not match on the
\r
401 specified paths to avoid confusion.
\r
409 Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
\r
413 <file>…
\r
417 Files to be committed. The meaning of these is
\r
418 different between <tt>--include</tt> and <tt>--only</tt>. Without
\r
419 either, it defaults <tt>--only</tt> semantics.
\r
423 <p>If you make a commit and then found a mistake immediately after
\r
424 that, you can recover from it with <a href="git-reset.html">git-reset(1)</a>.</p>

\r
427 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
428 <p><tt>git commit</tt> without _any_ parameter commits the tree structure
\r
429 recorded by the current index file. This is a whole-tree commit
\r
430 even the command is invoked from a subdirectory.</p>
\r
431 <p><tt>git commit --include paths…</tt> is equivalent to</p>
\r
432 <div class="literalblock">
\r
433 <div class="content">
\r
434 <pre><tt>git update-index --remove paths...
\r
435 git commit</tt></pre>
\r
437 <p>That is, update the specified paths to the index and then commit
\r
438 the whole tree.</p>
\r
439 <p><tt>git commit paths…</tt> largely bypasses the index file and
\r
440 commits only the changes made to the specified paths. It has
\r
441 however several safety valves to prevent confusion.</p>
\r
445 It refuses to run during a merge (i.e. when
\r
446 <tt>$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD</tt> exists), and reminds trained git users
\r
447 that the traditional semantics now needs -i flag.
\r
452 It refuses to run if named <tt>paths…</tt> are different in HEAD
\r
453 and the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
\r
454 This is because an earlier <tt>git diff</tt> (not <tt>git diff HEAD</tt>)
\r
455 would have shown the differences since the last <tt>git
\r
456 update-index paths…</tt> to the user, and an inexperienced user
\r
457 may mistakenly think that the changes between the index and
\r
458 the HEAD (i.e. earlier changes made before the last <tt>git
\r
459 update-index paths…</tt> was done) are not being committed.
\r
464 It reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file, updates the
\r
465 specified <tt>paths…</tt> and makes a commit. At the same time,
\r
466 the real index file is also updated with the same <tt>paths…</tt>.
\r
470 <p><tt>git commit --all</tt> updates the index file with _all_ changes to
\r
471 the working tree, and makes a whole-tree commit, regardless of
\r
472 which subdirectory the command is invoked in.</p>
