git-commit: Create a commit, even if there are no staged files.

$ git commit --message "${message}" --allow-empty

try on your machine

This command is used in Git version control system to create a new commit with a specified message. Let's break down the command:

git commit is the command that initiates the process of creating a new commit.
--message "${message}" is an optional flag followed by an argument ("-m" can also be used instead of "--message") that allows you to provide a specific message for the commit. In this case, the message is stored in a variable called "${message}".
--allow-empty is an optional flag that allows you to create an empty commit. An empty commit means the commit does not have any changes to the files being tracked. This is useful in certain scenarios where you may want to record a specific event or milestone in the commit history without any actual code changes.

By combining the --message flag with the appropriate message variable and the --allow-empty flag, this command creates a new commit even if there are no changes to be included in it.
