Question:
trying to make a commit in git , writing a command
git commit
Displays the description of the commit via gedit (I think it doesn't really matter which text editor I use?), I save the changes and close it. And output
Aborting commit due to empty commit
message.
Everything works great with
git commit -m 'commit'
But I would like to get to the bottom of it. Can someone suggest why this is happening?
Answer:
Read error messages carefully. The one you have says that the description for the commit is not set. In the resulting gEdit window, you must specify a description for the commit in the first line of the file, write the file and exit.
