Rather than parse options manually, which is both difficult to read and error prone, parse options supplied to commit-tree using the parse-options api. It was discovered that the --no-gpg-sign option was documented but not implemented in commit70ddbd7767(commit-tree: add missing --gpg-sign flag, 2019-01-19), and the existing implementation would attempt to translate the option as a tree oid. It was also suggested earlier in commit55ca3f99ae(commit-tree: add and document --no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) that commit-tree should be migrated to utilize the parse-options api, which could help prevent mistakes like this in the future. Hence this change. Also update the documentation to better describe that mixing `-m` and `-F` options will correctly compose commit log messages in the order in which the options are given. In the process, mark various strings for translation. Signed-off-by: Brandon Richardson <brandon1024.br@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-commit-tree - Create a new commit object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git commit-tree' <tree> [(-p <parent>)...]
|
|
'git commit-tree' [(-p <parent>)...] [-S[<keyid>]] [(-m <message>)...]
|
|
[(-F <file>)...] <tree>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See
|
|
linkgit:git-commit[1] instead.
|
|
|
|
Creates a new commit object based on the provided tree object and
|
|
emits the new commit object id on stdout. The log message is read
|
|
from the standard input, unless `-m` or `-F` options are given.
|
|
|
|
The `-m` and `-F` options can be given any number of times, in any
|
|
order. The commit log message will be composed in the order in which
|
|
the options are given.
|
|
|
|
A commit object may have any number of parents. With exactly one
|
|
parent, it is an ordinary commit. Having more than one parent makes
|
|
the commit a merge between several lines of history. Initial (root)
|
|
commits have no parents.
|
|
|
|
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 that is pointed at by
|
|
`.git/HEAD`, so that we can always see what the last committed
|
|
state was.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<tree>::
|
|
An existing tree object.
|
|
|
|
-p <parent>::
|
|
Each `-p` indicates the id of a parent commit object.
|
|
|
|
-m <message>::
|
|
A paragraph in the commit log message. This can be given more than
|
|
once and each <message> becomes its own paragraph.
|
|
|
|
-F <file>::
|
|
Read the commit log message from the given file. Use `-` to read
|
|
from the standard input. This can be given more than once and the
|
|
content of each file becomes its own paragraph.
|
|
|
|
-S[<keyid>]::
|
|
--gpg-sign[=<keyid>]::
|
|
GPG-sign commits. The `keyid` argument is optional and
|
|
defaults to the committer identity; if specified, it must be
|
|
stuck to the option without a space.
|
|
|
|
--no-gpg-sign::
|
|
Do not GPG-sign commit, to countermand a `--gpg-sign` option
|
|
given earlier on the command line.
|
|

|
Commit Information
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A commit encapsulates:
|
|
|
|
- all parent object ids
|
|
- author name, email and date
|
|
- committer name and email and the commit time.
|
|
|
|
While parent object ids are provided on the command line, author and
|
|
committer information is taken from the following environment variables,
|
|
if set:
|
|
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
|
|
|
|
(nb "<", ">" and "\n"s are stripped)
|
|
|
|
In case (some of) these environment variables are not set, the information
|
|
is taken from the configuration items user.name and user.email, or, if not
|
|
present, the environment variable EMAIL, or, if that is not set,
|
|
system user name and the hostname used for outgoing mail (taken
|
|
from `/etc/mailname` and falling back to the fully qualified hostname when
|
|
that file does not exist).
|
|
|
|
A commit comment is read from stdin. If a changelog
|
|
entry is not provided via "<" redirection, 'git commit-tree' will just wait
|
|
for one to be entered and terminated with ^D.
