git commit

Commit files to the repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit.

• Commit staged files to the repository with a message:

git commit -m "{{message}}"

• Commit staged files with a message read from a file:

git commit --file {{path/to/commit_message_file}}

• Auto stage all modified files and commit with a message:

git commit -a -m "{{message}}"

• Commit staged files and [S]ign them with the GPG key defined in ~/.gitconfig:

git commit -S -m "{{message}}"

• Update the last commit by adding the currently staged changes, changing the commit's hash:

git commit --amend

• Commit only specific (already staged) files:

git commit {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}

• Create a commit, even if there are no staged files:

git commit -m "{{message}}" --allow-empty
