git-commit-tree: Create a commit object reading the message from a file (use `-` for `stdin`).
$ git commit-tree ${tree} -F ${filename}
try on your machine

The git commit-tree command is used to create a new commit object in Git. It takes in the tree object hash and other parameters to construct the commit.

Here is an explanation of the command:

  • ${tree}: This variable represents the tree object hash (e.g., a unique identifier of the versioned directory structure) that will be associated with the commit. This specifies the state of the project at the time of the commit.
  • -F ${filename}: This flag specifies a file (represented by ${filename}) that contains the commit message. It allows you to provide a detailed description of the changes made in the commit.

When you run the git commit-tree command with the provided parameters, Git will create a new commit object using the specified tree and commit message. The command will output the hash of the newly created commit, which you can use to reference or inspect it later.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
