24 | OPTIONS |
| 25 | ------- | |
| 26 | -a:: | |
| 27 | Update all paths in the index file. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | -c or -C <commit>:: | |
| 30 | Take existing commit object, and reuse the log message | |
| 31 | and the authorship information (including the timestamp) | |
| 32 | when creating the commit. With '-C', the editor is not | |
| 33 | invoked; with '-c' the user can further edit the commit | |
| 34 | message. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | -F <file>:: | |
| 37 | Take the commit message from the given file. Use '-' to | |
| 38 | read the message from the standard input. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | -m <msg>:: | |
| 41 | Use the given <msg> as the commit message. | |

43 | -s:: |
| 44 | Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | -v:: | |
| 47 | Look for suspicious lines the commit introduces, and | |
| 48 | abort committing if there is one. The definition of | |
| 49 | 'suspicious lines' is currently the lines that has | |
| 50 | trailing whitespaces, and the lines whose indentation | |
| 51 | has a SP character immediately followed by a TAB | |
| 52 | character. | |
| 53 | ||
| 6d35cc76 JH |
54 | -e:: |
| 55 | The message taken from file with `-F`, command line with | |
| 56 | `-m`, and from file with `-C` are usually used as the | |
| 57 | commit log message unmodified. This option lets you | |
| 58 | further edit the message taken from these sources. | |
| 59 | ||
| 62033318 | 60 | <file>...:: |
| 6d35cc76 | 61 | Update specified paths in the index file before committing. |
