nt commit

Name

the-notewriter commit — Record changes to the repository.

Synopsis

Usage:
nt commit [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for commit
-m, --message string commit message

Description

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 the last known commit.

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

  • by using nt add to incrementally “add” changes to the index before using the commit command (Note: even modified files must be “added”).

No other was are currently supported.

Options

  • -m <msg>, --message=<msg>
    • Use the given <msg> as the commit message. No multiple -m are supported.

Examples

When recording your own work, the contents of modified files in your working tree are temporarily stored to a staging area called the “index” with nt add. After building the state to be committed incrementally, nt commit is used to record what has been staged so far. This is the most basic form of the command. An example:

Terminal window
$ edit hello.md
$ nt add hello.md
$ nt commit -m "Add hello.md"

A commit doesn’t have an author. Use Git to version your files and preserve the history.
