DESCRIPTION
-----------
Stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along
with a log message from the user describing the changes.
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
linkgit:git-checkout[1]).

The content to be added can be specified in several ways:
The content to be committed can be specified in several ways:

1. by using 'git add' to incrementally "add" changes to the
index before using the 'commit' command (Note: even modified
files must be "added");
1. by using linkgit:git-add[1] to incrementally "add" changes to the
index before using the 'commit' command (Note: even modified files
must be "added");

2. by using 'git rm' to remove files from the working tree
2. by using linkgit:git-rm[1] to remove files from the working tree
and the index, again before using the 'commit' command;

3. by listing files as arguments to the 'commit' command
