Committing Changes (git commit)

'git commit' records changes to the repository with a commit message describing the update.

Usage

To commit changes:

git commit -m "Commit message"

Explanation: The '-m' flag allows you to add a message inline. Without it, Git opens an editor where you can write a longer message.

Key Takeaways

  • 'git commit' creates a snapshot of the staged changes in your repository.
  • A clear commit message is essential for understanding the purpose of the change later.
