\r
280 <div class="sectionbody">
\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>This command can run <tt>commit-msg</tt>, <tt>pre-commit</tt>, and
\r
286 <tt>post-commit</tt> hooks. See <a href="hooks.html">hooks</a> for more
\r
290 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
297 Update all paths in the index file. This flag notices
\r
298 files that have been modified and deleted, but new files
\r
299 you have not told git about are not affected.
\r
303 -c or -C <commit>
\r
307 Take existing commit object, and reuse the log message
\r
308 and the authorship information (including the timestamp)
\r
309 when creating the commit. With <em>-C</em>, the editor is not
\r
310 invoked; with <em>-c</em> the user can further edit the commit
\r
319 Take the commit message from the given file. Use <em>-</em> to
\r
320 read the message from the standard input.
\r
324 --author <author>
\r
328 Override the author name used in the commit. Use
\r
329 <tt>A U Thor <author@example.com></tt> format.
\r
337 Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
\r
345 Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
\r
353 Look for suspicious lines the commit introduces, and
\r
354 abort committing if there is one. The definition of
\r
355 <em>suspicious lines</em> is currently the lines that has
\r
356 trailing whitespaces, and the lines whose indentation
\r
357 has a SP character immediately followed by a TAB
\r
358 character. This is the default.
\r
366 The opposite of <tt>--verify</tt>.
\r
374 The message taken from file with <tt>-F</tt>, command line with
\r
375 <tt>-m</tt>, and from file with <tt>-C</tt> are usually used as the
\r
376 commit log message unmodified. This option lets you
\r
377 further edit the message taken from these sources.
\r
385 Instead of committing only the files specified on the
\r
386 command line, update them in the index file and then
\r
387 commit the whole index. This is the traditional
\r
396 Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
\r
400 <file>…
\r
404 Commit only the files specified on the command line.
\r
405 This format cannot be used during a merge, nor when the
\r
406 index and the latest commit does not match on the
\r
407 specified paths to avoid confusion.
\r
411 <p>If you make a commit and then found a mistake immediately after
\r
412 that, you can recover from it with <a href="git-reset.html">git-reset(1)</a>.</p>

414 <h2>Discussion</h2>
\r
415 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
416 <p><tt>git commit</tt> without _any_ parameter commits the tree structure
\r
417 recorded by the current index file. This is a whole-tree commit
\r
418 even the command is invoked from a subdirectory.</p>
\r
419 <p><tt>git commit --include paths…</tt> is equivalent to</p>
\r
420 <div class="literalblock">
\r
421 <div class="content">
\r
422 <pre><tt>git update-index --remove paths...
\r
423 git commit</tt></pre>
\r
425 <p>That is, update the specified paths to the index and then commit
\r
426 the whole tree.</p>
\r
427 <p><tt>git commit paths…</tt> largely bypasses the index file and
\r
428 commits only the changes made to the specified paths. It has
\r
429 however several safety valves to prevent confusion.</p>
\r
433 It refuses to run during a merge (i.e. when
\r
434 <tt>$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD</tt> exists), and reminds trained git users
\r
435 that the traditional semantics now needs -i flag.
\r
440 It refuses to run if named <tt>paths…</tt> are different in HEAD
\r
441 and the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
\r
442 This is because an earlier <tt>git diff</tt> (not <tt>git diff HEAD</tt>)
\r
443 would have shown the differences since the last <tt>git
\r
444 update-index paths…</tt> to the user, and an inexperienced user
\r
445 may mistakenly think that the changes between the index and
\r
446 the HEAD (i.e. earlier changes made before the last <tt>git
\r
447 update-index paths…</tt> was done) are not being committed.
\r
452 It reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file, updates the
\r
453 specified <tt>paths…</tt> and makes a commit. At the same time,
\r
454 the real index file is also updated with the same <tt>paths…</tt>.
\r
458 <p><tt>git commit --all</tt> updates the index file with _all_ changes to
\r
459 the working tree, and makes a whole-tree commit, regardless of
\r
460 which subdirectory the command is invoked in.</p>
