<div class="paragraph">
<p>Create a new commit containing the current contents of the index and
the given log message describing the changes. The new commit is a
direct child of HEAD, usually the tip of the current branch, and the
branch is updated to point to it (unless no branch is associated with
the working tree, in which case HEAD is "detached" as described in
<a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The content to be committed can be specified in several ways:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>by using <a href="git-add.html">git-add(1)</a> to incrementally "add" changes to the
index before using the <em>commit</em> command (Note: even modified files
must be "added");</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>by using <a href="git-rm.html">git-rm(1)</a> to remove files from the working tree
and the index, again before using the <em>commit</em> command;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>by listing files as arguments to the <em>commit</em> command
(without --interactive or --patch switch), in which
case the commit will ignore changes staged in the index, and instead
record the current content of the listed files (which must already
be known to Git);</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>by using the -a switch with the <em>commit</em> command to automatically
"add" changes from all known files (i.e. all files that are already
listed in the index) and to automatically "rm" files in the index
that have been removed from the working tree, and then perform the
actual commit;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>by using the --interactive or --patch switches with the <em>commit</em> command
to decide one by one which files or hunks should be part of the commit
in addition to contents in the index,
before finalizing the operation. See the &#8220;Interactive Mode&#8221; section of
<a href="git-add.html">git-add(1)</a> to learn how to operate these modes.</p>

<p>The <code>--dry-run</code> option can be used to obtain a
summary of what is included by any of the above for the next

<p>Create a new commit which "fixes up" <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code> when applied with
<code>git rebase --autosquash</code>. Plain <code>--fixup=&lt;commit&gt;</code> creates a
"fixup!" commit which changes the content of <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code> but leaves
its log message untouched. <code>--fixup=amend:&lt;commit&gt;</code> is similar but
creates an "amend!" commit which also replaces the log message of
<code>&lt;commit&gt;</code> with the log message of the "amend!" commit.
<code>--fixup=reword:&lt;commit&gt;</code> creates an "amend!" commit which
replaces the log message of <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code> with its own log message
but makes no changes to the content of <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code>.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The commit created by plain <code>--fixup=&lt;commit&gt;</code> has a subject
composed of "fixup!" followed by the subject line from &lt;commit&gt;,

opened in an editor so it can be refined. When <code>git rebase
--autosquash</code> squashes the "amend!" commit into <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code>, the
log message of <code>&lt;commit&gt;</code> is replaced by the refined log message
from the "amend!" commit. It is an error for the "amend!" commit&#8217;s
log message to be empty unless <code>--allow-empty-message</code> is

<p>When editing the commit message, start the editor with the
contents in the given file.  The <code>commit.template</code> configuration
variable is often used to give this option implicitly to the
command.  This mechanism can be used by projects that want to
guide participants with some hints on what to write in the message
in what order.  If the user exits the editor without editing the
message, the commit is aborted.  This has no effect when a message
is given by other means, e.g. with the <code>-m</code> or <code>-F</code> options.</p>

<dd>
<p>Add a <code>Signed-off-by</code> trailer by the committer at the end of the commit
log message.  The meaning of a signoff depends on the project
to which you&#8217;re committing.  For example, it may certify that
the committer has the rights to submit the work under the
project&#8217;s license or agrees to some contributor representation,
such as a Developer Certificate of Origin.
(See <a href="http://developercertificate.org" class="bare">http://developercertificate.org</a> for the one used by the
Linux kernel and Git projects.)  Consult the documentation or
leadership of the project to which you&#8217;re contributing to
understand how the signoffs are used in that project.</p>
<div class="paragraph">

&lt;committer@example.com&gt;" --trailer "Helped-by:C O Mitter \
&lt;committer@example.com&gt;"</code> will add the "Signed-off-by" trailer
and the "Helped-by" trailer to the commit message.)
The <code>trailer.*</code> configuration variables
(<a href="git-interpret-trailers.html">git-interpret-trailers(1)</a>) can be used to define if
a duplicated trailer is omitted, where in the run of trailers
each trailer would appear, and other details.</p>

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--allow-empty</dt>
<dd>
<p>Usually recording a commit that has the exact same tree as its

<p>Like --allow-empty this command is primarily for use by foreign
SCM interface scripts. It allows you to create a commit with an

<dd>
<p>Replace the tip of the current branch by creating a new
commit. The recorded tree is prepared as usual (including
the effect of the <code>-i</code> and <code>-o</code> options and explicit
pathspec), and the message from the original commit is used
as the starting point, instead of an empty message, when no
other message is specified from the command line via options
such as <code>-m</code>, <code>-F</code>, <code>-c</code>, etc.  The new commit has the same

<p>When recording your own work, the contents of modified files in
your working tree are temporarily stored to a staging area
called the "index" with <em>git add</em>.  A file can be
reverted back, only in the index but not in the working tree,
to that of the last commit with <code>git restore --staged &lt;file&gt;</code>,
which effectively reverts <em>git add</em> and prevents the changes to
this file from participating in the next commit.  After building
the state to be committed incrementally with these commands,
<code>git commit</code> (without any pathname parameter) is used to record what
has been staged so far.  This is the most basic form of the
command.  An example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ edit hello.c
$ git rm goodbye.c
$ git add hello.c
$ git commit</pre>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Instead of staging files after each individual change, you can
tell <code>git commit</code> to notice the changes to the files whose
contents are tracked in
your working tree and do corresponding <code>git add</code> and <code>git rm</code>
for you.  That is, this example does the same as the earlier
example if there is no other change in your working tree:</p>

<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ edit hello.c
$ rm goodbye.c
$ git commit -a</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The command <code>git commit -a</code> first looks at your working tree,
notices that you have modified hello.c and removed goodbye.c,
and performs necessary <code>git add</code> and <code>git rm</code> for you.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After staging changes to many files, you can alter the order the
changes are recorded in, by giving pathnames to <code>git commit</code>.
When pathnames are given, the command makes a commit that
only records the changes made to the named paths:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ edit hello.c hello.h
$ git add hello.c hello.h
$ edit Makefile
$ git commit Makefile</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This makes a commit that records the modification to <code>Makefile</code>.
The changes staged for <code>hello.c</code> and <code>hello.h</code> are not included
in the resulting commit.  However, their changes are not lost&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;they are still staged and merely held back.  After the above
sequence, if you do:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git commit</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>this second commit would record the changes to <code>hello.c</code> and
<code>hello.h</code> as expected.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After a merge (initiated by <em>git merge</em> or <em>git pull</em>) stops
because of conflicts, cleanly merged
paths are already staged to be committed for you, and paths that
conflicted are left in unmerged state.  You would have to first
check which paths are conflicting with <em>git status</em>
and after fixing them manually in your working tree, you would
stage the result as usual with <em>git add</em>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git status | grep unmerged
unmerged: hello.c
$ edit hello.c
$ git add hello.c</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After resolving conflicts and staging the result, <code>git ls-files -u</code>
would stop mentioning the conflicted path.  When you are done,
run <code>git commit</code> to finally record the merge:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git commit</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As with the case to record your own changes, you can use <code>-a</code>
option to save typing.  One difference is that during a merge
resolution, you cannot use <code>git commit</code> with pathnames to
alter the order the changes are committed, because the merge
should be recorded as a single commit.  In fact, the command
refuses to run when given pathnames (but see <code>-i</code> option).</p>

<h2 id="_commit_information">COMMIT INFORMATION</h2>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The author and committer names are by convention some form of a personal name
(that is, the name by which other humans refer to you), although Git does not
enforce or require any particular form. Arbitrary Unicode may be used, subject
to the constraints listed above. This name has no effect on authentication; for
that, see the <code>credential.username</code> variable in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In case (some of) these environment variables are not set, the information
is taken from the configuration items <code>user.name</code> and <code>user.email</code>, or, if not
present, the environment variable EMAIL, or, if that is not set,
system user name and the hostname used for outgoing mail (taken
from <code>/etc/mailname</code> and falling back to the fully qualified hostname when
that file does not exist).</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>author.name</code> and <code>committer.name</code> and their corresponding email options

<p>It is <code>&lt;unix-timestamp&gt; &lt;time-zone-offset&gt;</code>, where
<code>&lt;unix-timestamp&gt;</code> is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
<code>&lt;time-zone-offset&gt;</code> is a positive or negative offset from UTC.
For example CET (which is 1 hour ahead of UTC) is <code>+0100</code>.</p>

<dd>
<p>Time and date specified by the ISO 8601 standard, for example
<code>2005-04-07T22:13:13</code>. The parser accepts a space instead of the
<code>T</code> character as well. Fractional parts of a second will be ignored,
for example <code>2005-04-07T22:13:13.019</code> will be treated as
<code>2005-04-07T22:13:13</code>.</p>

<h2 id="_discussion">DISCUSSION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Though not required, it&#8217;s a good idea to begin the commit message
with a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the
change, followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.
The text up to the first blank line in a commit message is treated
as the commit title, and that title is used throughout Git.
For example, <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> turns a commit into email, and it uses
the title on the Subject line and the rest of the commit in the body.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Git is to some extent character encoding agnostic.</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The contents of the blob objects are uninterpreted sequences
of bytes.  There is no encoding translation at the core
level.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Path names are encoded in UTF-8 normalization form C. This
applies to tree objects, the index file, ref names, as well as
path names in command line arguments, environment variables
and config files (<code>.git/config</code> (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>),
<a href="gitignore.html">gitignore(5)</a>, <a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a> and
<a href="gitmodules.html">gitmodules(5)</a>).</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that Git at the core level treats path names simply as
sequences of non-NUL bytes, there are no path name encoding
conversions (except on Mac and Windows). Therefore, using
non-ASCII path names will mostly work even on platforms and file
systems that use legacy extended ASCII encodings. However,
repositories created on such systems will not work properly on
UTF-8-based systems (e.g. Linux, Mac, Windows) and vice versa.
Additionally, many Git-based tools simply assume path names to
be UTF-8 and will fail to display other encodings correctly.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Commit log messages are typically encoded in UTF-8, but other
extended ASCII encodings are also supported. This includes
ISO-8859-x, CP125x and many others, but <em>not</em> UTF-16/32,
EBCDIC and CJK multi-byte encodings (GBK, Shift-JIS, Big5,
EUC-x, CP9xx etc.).</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded
in UTF-8, both the core and Git Porcelain are designed not to
force UTF-8 on projects.  If all participants of a particular
project find it more convenient to use legacy encodings, Git
does not forbid it.  However, there are a few things to keep in
mind.</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p><em>git commit</em> and <em>git commit-tree</em> issues
a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look
like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your
project uses a legacy encoding.  The way to say this is to
have <code>i18n.commitEncoding</code> in <code>.git/config</code> file, like this:</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>[i18n]
        commitEncoding = ISO-8859-1</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Commit objects created with the above setting record the value
of <code>i18n.commitEncoding</code> in its <code>encoding</code> header.  This is to
help other people who look at them later.  Lack of this header
implies that the commit log message is encoded in UTF-8.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>git log</em>, <em>git show</em>, <em>git blame</em> and friends look at the
<code>encoding</code> header of a commit object, and try to re-code the
log message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified.  You can
specify the desired output encoding with
<code>i18n.logOutputEncoding</code> in <code>.git/config</code> file, like this:</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>[i18n]
        logOutputEncoding = ISO-8859-1</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you do not have this configuration variable, the value of
<code>i18n.commitEncoding</code> is used instead.</p>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that we deliberately chose not to re-code the commit log
message when a commit is made to force UTF-8 at the commit
object level, because re-coding to UTF-8 is not necessarily a
reversible operation.</p>
