All commands with "commit"

Commit changes in the editor

This command will open a text editor in the terminal where you can write a full commit message. A commit message is made up of a short summary of changes, an empty line, and a full description of the changes after it.

git commit

Commit changes with a message

You can add a commit message without opening the editor. This command lets you only specify a short summary for your commit message.

git commit -m "[your commit message]"

Commit changes and skip the staging area

Combines the -a and -m options for creating a commit for all the staged changes and taking an inline commit message.

git commit -a -m"[your commit message]"

Amend the most recent commit

Modifies the last commit. Staged changes are added to the previous commit.

git commit --amend
