Making Your First Commit
You have already learned that a commit in Git represents a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. Now, explore how to make a commit.
Making a Commit
To commit your changes, run the following command:
git commit -m "Commit message"
Replace "Commit message" with a short description of the changes made. A commit message can be either brief or detailed, depending on the context. For now, use concise messages.
Before making the first commit, check the status of the working tree and the staging area.
Since the only change made so far is adding a new text file, the commit command will be:
Run this command in the terminal:
The changes from the staging area are now committed.
Commit Workflow
Here is the process of committing a change to the repository:
- Add the file from the working tree to the staging area;
- Commit this change to the repository.
