git-commit-tree(1) |
|
================== |
|
v0.1, May 2005 |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-commit-tree - Creates a new commit object |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-commit-tree' <tree> [-p <parent commit>]\ < changelog |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Creates a new commit object based on the provided tree object and |
|
emits the new commit object id on stdout. If no parent is given then |
|
it is considered to be an initial tree. |
|
|
|
A commit object usually has 1 parent (a commit after a change) or up |
|
to 16 parents. More than one parent represents a merge of branches |
|
that led to them. |
|
|
|
While a tree represents a particular directory state of a working |
|
directory, a commit represents that state in "time", and explains how |
|
to get there. |
|
|
|
Normally a commit would identify a new "HEAD" state, and while git |
|
doesn't care where you save the note about that state, in practice we |
|
tend to just write the result to the file `.git/HEAD`, so that we can |
|
always see what the last committed state was. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
<tree>:: |
|
An existing tree object |
|
|
|
-p <parent commit>:: |
|
Each '-p' indicates a the id of a parent commit object. |
|
|
|
|
|
Commit Information |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
A commit encapsulates: |
|
|
|
- all parent object ids |
|
- author name, email and date |
|
- committer name and email and the commit time. |
|
|
|
If not provided, "git-commit-tree" uses your name, hostname and domain to |
|
provide author and committer info. This can be overridden using the |
|
following environment variables. |
|
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME |
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL |
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE |
|
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME |
|
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL |
|
|
|
(nb <,> and '\n's are stripped) |
|
|
|
A commit comment is read from stdin (max 999 chars). If a changelog |
|
entry is not provided via '<' redirection, "git-commit-tree" will just wait |
|
for one to be entered and terminated with ^D |
|
