git commit

Commit files to the repository.

• 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
