Method Detail

call

public RevCommit call()
               throws GitAPIException,
                      NoHeadException,
                      NoMessageException,
                      UnmergedPathsException,

                      WrongRepositoryStateException,
                      AbortedByHookException

Execute the command

Executes the commit command with all the options and parameters collected by the setter methods of this class. Each instance of this class should only be used for one invocation of the command (means: one call to call())

Specified by:

call in interface Callable<RevCommit>

Specified by:

call in class GitCommand<RevCommit>

Throws:

GitAPIException

NoHeadException

NoMessageException

UnmergedPathsException

ConcurrentRefUpdateException

WrongRepositoryStateException

AbortedByHookException

setMessage

public CommitCommand setMessage(String message)

Set the commit message

Parameters:

message - the commit message used for the commit

Returns:

this

setAllowEmpty

public CommitCommand setAllowEmpty(boolean allowEmpty)

Set whether to allow to create an empty commit

Parameters:

allowEmpty - whether it should be allowed to create a commit which has the same tree as it's sole predecessor (a commit which doesn't change anything). By default when creating standard commits (without specifying paths) JGit allows to create such commits. When this flag is set to false an attempt to create an "empty" standard commit will lead to an EmptyCommitException.

By default when creating a commit containing only specified paths an attempt to create an empty commit leads to a JGitInternalException. By setting this flag to true this exception will not be thrown.

Returns:

this
