git commit

Records the staged snapshot as a new point in history, with a message explaining why, not just what.

#git #commit

Command

Commit staged changes

SHELL

1git commit -m "<message>"

3# stage every already-tracked file's changes and commit in one step

4git commit -am "<message>"

6# fix the message or contents of the last commit (before pushing it)

7git commit --amend

Warning

--amend rewrites the last commit's hash. Only do this before the commit has been pushed and shared — amending a commit others already pulled forces everyone to reconcile diverging history.
