Commit message

Learn to write a meaningful commit message.

Add a Commit Message

A commit message briefly explains what a saved change does. You can provide the message directly in the command with the -m option.

git commit -m "Update the header"

Write a Descriptive Message

A commit message should clearly describe the purpose of the change. For example, Add search field is more informative than a generic phrase such as Update.

git commit -m "Add search field"
