\arguments{
\item{message}{a commit message}

\item{author}{A \link{git_signature} value, default is \code{\link[=git_signature_default]{git_signature_default()}}.}

\item{committer}{A \link{git_signature} value, default is same as \code{author}}

\item{repo}{The path to the git repository. If the directory is not a
repository, parent directories are considered (see \link{git_find}). To disable
this search, provide the filepath protected with \code{\link[=I]{I()}}. When using this
parameter, always explicitly call by name (i.e. \verb{repo = }) because future
versions of gert may have additional parameters.}

\item{ref}{revision string with a branch/tag/commit value}

\item{ancestor}{a reference to a potential ancestor commit}

\item{files}{vector of paths relative to the git root directory.
Use \code{"."} to stage all changed files.}

\item{force}{add files even if in gitignore}

\item{staged}{return only staged (TRUE) or unstaged files (FALSE).
Use \code{NULL} or \code{NA} to show both (default).}

\item{max}{lookup at most latest n parent commits}
}
\value{
\itemize{
\item \code{git_status()}, \code{git_ls()}: A data frame with one row per file
\item \code{git_log()}: A data frame with one row per commit
\item \code{git_commit()}, \code{git_commit_all()}: A SHA
}
}
\description{
To commit changes, start by \emph{staging} the files to be included in the commit
using \code{git_add()} or \code{git_rm()}. Use \code{git_status()} to see an overview of
staged and unstaged changes, and finally \code{git_commit()} creates a new commit
with currently staged files.

\code{git_commit_all()} is a convenience function that automatically stages and
commits all modified files. Note that \code{git_commit_all()} does \strong{not} add
new, untracked files to the repository. You need to make an explicit call to
\code{git_add()} to start tracking new files.

\code{git_log()} shows the most recent commits and \code{git_ls()} lists all the files
that are being tracked in the repository.
