git-commit: Commit staged files with a message read from a file.
$ git commit --file ${path-to-commit_message_file}
try on your machine
The command git commit --file ${path-to-commit_message_file}
is a Git command used to create a commit with a pre-written commit message stored in a specified file.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
git commit
: This is the main Git command used to create a commit, which records changes to the repository.--file
: It is an option used to specify that the commit message will be provided in a file.${path-to-commit_message_file}
: This is the path to the file that contains the commit message. You need to replace it with the actual file path. For example, if the commit message is stored in a file called "commit_message.txt" located in the current directory, the command would look like:git commit --file commit_message.txt
.
By using this command, Git will read the specified file and use its contents as the commit message. This can be helpful when you have a long or more complex commit message that you would like to write in a separate file rather than directly in the terminal.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
