18 Speichere den aktuellen Inhalt des Index gemeinsam mit einer die Änderungen
19 des Benutzers beschreibenden Log Nachricht als neue Eintragung (commit) im
22 Der neue Inhalt kann auf verschiedene Arten angegeben werden:
24 1. durch Verwendung von 'git-add', um Änderungen, vor Aufruf des
25 'git commit' Befehls, schrittweise zum Index hinzuzufügen (Anmerkung:
26 auch lediglich modifizierte Dateien müssen "hinzugefügt" werden);
28 2. durch Verwendung von 'git-rm' um Dateien, vor Aufruf des 'git commit'
29 Befehls, aus dem Arbeitsbereich, und dem Index zu entfernen,
31 3. Durch die Angabe von Dateien als Argumente des 'git commit' Befehls,
32 wodurch die Eintragung (commit) aller im Index vorgemerkten Änderungen
33 ignoriert wird, und statt dessen der aktuelle Inhalt der aufgezählten
34 Dateien im Projektarchiv (repository) eingetragen wird.
36 4. Durch Verwendung des -a Schalters des 'git commit' Befehls, um zuvor
37 automatisch die Änderungen aller bekannten Dateien (also aller Dateien
38 die im Index bereits bekannt sind) hinzuzufügen ('git add'), und um
39 automatisch alle Dateien die aus dem Arbeitsbereich gelöscht wurden zu
42 5. Durch Verwendung des --interactive Schalters des 'git commit' Befehls,
43 um zuvor für jede Datei einzeln zu entscheiden ob diese Teil der
44 Eintragung (commit) sein soll. Dies wird derzeit durch
45 'git-add --interactive' bewerkstelligt.
47 Der 'git-status' Befehl kann, durch Angabe der selben Parameter die man
48 für 'git commit' benutzen würde, dazu verwendet werden, um einen Überblick
49 darüber zu erhalten, welche Dateien bei jeder der obigen Optionen in der
50 nächsten Eintragung (commit) beinhaltet sein würden.
52 Wurde eine Eintragung (commit) durchgeführt und unmittelbar danach
53 ein Fehler erkannt, so kann diese mit 'git-reset' rückgängig gemacht werden.
60 Tell the command to automatically stage files that have
61 been modified and deleted, but new files you have not
62 told git about are not affected.
65 --reuse-message=<commit>::
66 Take an existing commit object, and reuse the log message
67 and the authorship information (including the timestamp)
68 when creating the commit.
71 --reedit-message=<commit>::
72 Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
73 the user can further edit the commit message.
77 Take the commit message from the given file. Use '-' to
78 read the message from the standard input.
81 Override the author name used in the commit. Use
82 `A U Thor <author@example.com>` format.
86 Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
90 Use the contents of the given file as the initial version
91 of the commit message. The editor is invoked and you can
92 make subsequent changes. If a message is specified using
93 the `-m` or `-F` options, this option has no effect. This
94 overrides the `commit.template` configuration variable.
98 Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
102 This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks.
103 See also linkgit:githooks[5].
106 Usually recording a commit that has the exact same tree as its
107 sole parent commit is a mistake, and the command prevents you
108 from making such a commit. This option bypasses the safety, and
109 is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts.
112 This option sets how the commit message is cleaned up.
113 The '<mode>' can be one of 'verbatim', 'whitespace', 'strip',
114 and 'default'. The 'default' mode will strip leading and
115 trailing empty lines and #commentary from the commit message
116 only if the message is to be edited. Otherwise only whitespace
117 removed. The 'verbatim' mode does not change message at all,
118 'whitespace' removes just leading/trailing whitespace lines
119 and 'strip' removes both whitespace and commentary.
123 The message taken from file with `-F`, command line with
124 `-m`, and from file with `-C` are usually used as the
125 commit log message unmodified. This option lets you
126 further edit the message taken from these sources.
129 Used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree
130 object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual
131 (this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the
132 commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the
133 tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the
134 current tip -- if it was a merge, it will have the parents of
135 the current tip as parents -- so the current top commit is
139 It is a rough equivalent for:
141 $ git reset --soft HEAD^
142 $ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
143 $ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
146 but can be used to amend a merge commit.
151 Before making a commit out of staged contents so far,
152 stage the contents of paths given on the command line
153 as well. This is usually not what you want unless you
154 are concluding a conflicted merge.
158 Make a commit only from the paths specified on the
159 command line, disregarding any contents that have been
160 staged so far. This is the default mode of operation of
161 'git-commit' if any paths are given on the command line,
162 in which case this option can be omitted.
163 If this option is specified together with '--amend', then
164 no paths need be specified, which can be used to amend
165 the last commit without committing changes that have
169 --untracked-files[=<mode>]::
170 Show untracked files (Default: 'all').
172 The mode parameter is optional, and is used to specify
173 the handling of untracked files. The possible options are:
176 - 'no' - Show no untracked files
177 - 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
178 - 'all' - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
181 See linkgit:git-config[1] for configuration variable
182 used to change the default for when the option is not
187 Show unified diff between the HEAD commit and what
188 would be committed at the bottom of the commit message
189 template. Note that this diff output doesn't have its
190 lines prefixed with '#'.
194 Suppress commit summary message.
197 Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
200 When files are given on the command line, the command
201 commits the contents of the named files, without
202 recording the changes already staged. The contents of
203 these files are also staged for the next commit on top
204 of what have been staged before.
209 When recording your own work, the contents of modified files in
210 your working tree are temporarily stored to a staging area
211 called the "index" with 'git-add'. A file can be
212 reverted back, only in the index but not in the working tree,
213 to that of the last commit with `git reset HEAD -- <file>`,
214 which effectively reverts 'git-add' and prevents the changes to
215 this file from participating in the next commit. After building
216 the state to be committed incrementally with these commands,
217 `git commit` (without any pathname parameter) is used to record what
218 has been staged so far. This is the most basic form of the
228 Instead of staging files after each individual change, you can
229 tell `git commit` to notice the changes to the files whose
230 contents are tracked in
231 your working tree and do corresponding `git add` and `git rm`
232 for you. That is, this example does the same as the earlier
233 example if there is no other change in your working tree:
241 The command `git commit -a` first looks at your working tree,
242 notices that you have modified hello.c and removed goodbye.c,
243 and performs necessary `git add` and `git rm` for you.
245 After staging changes to many files, you can alter the order the
246 changes are recorded in, by giving pathnames to `git commit`.
247 When pathnames are given, the command makes a commit that
248 only records the changes made to the named paths:
251 $ edit hello.c hello.h
252 $ git add hello.c hello.h
254 $ git commit Makefile
257 This makes a commit that records the modification to `Makefile`.
258 The changes staged for `hello.c` and `hello.h` are not included
259 in the resulting commit. However, their changes are not lost --
260 they are still staged and merely held back. After the above
267 this second commit would record the changes to `hello.c` and
268 `hello.h` as expected.
270 After a merge (initiated by 'git-merge' or 'git-pull') stops
271 because of conflicts, cleanly merged
272 paths are already staged to be committed for you, and paths that
273 conflicted are left in unmerged state. You would have to first
274 check which paths are conflicting with 'git-status'
275 and after fixing them manually in your working tree, you would
276 stage the result as usual with 'git-add':
279 $ git status | grep unmerged
285 After resolving conflicts and staging the result, `git ls-files -u`
286 would stop mentioning the conflicted path. When you are done,
287 run `git commit` to finally record the merge:
293 As with the case to record your own changes, you can use `-a`
294 option to save typing. One difference is that during a merge
295 resolution, you cannot use `git commit` with pathnames to
296 alter the order the changes are committed, because the merge
297 should be recorded as a single commit. In fact, the command
298 refuses to run when given pathnames (but see `-i` option).
304 Though not required, it's a good idea to begin the commit message
305 with a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the
306 change, followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.
307 Tools that turn commits into email, for example, use the first line
308 on the Subject: line and the rest of the commit in the body.
