jj-commit(1)

NAME
jj-commit - Update the description and create a new change on top [default alias: ci]

SYNOPSIS
jj commit [-i|--interactive] [--tool] [-m|--message] [-R|--repository] [--ignore-working-copy] [--ignore-immutable] [--at-operation] [--debug] [--color] [--quiet] [--no-pager] [--config] [--config-file] [-h|--help] [FILESETS]

DESCRIPTION
Update the description and create a new change on top [default alias: ci]

When called without path arguments or `--interactive`, `jj commit` is equivalent to `jj describe` followed by `jj new`.

Otherwise, this command is very similar to `jj split`. Differences include:

* `jj commit` is not interactive by default (it selects all changes).

* `jj commit` doesn't have a `-r` option. It always acts on the working-copy commit (@).

* `jj split` (without `-d/-A/-B`) will move bookmarks forward from the old change to the child change. `jj commit` doesn't move bookmarks forward.

* `jj split` allows you to move the selected changes to a different destination with `-d/-A/-B`.

OPTIONS

-i, --interactive
    Interactively choose which changes to include in the first commit

--tool <NAME>
    Specify diff editor to be used (implies --interactive)

-m, --message <MESSAGE>
    The change description to use (don't open editor)

-h, --help
    Print help (see a summary with '-h')

[FILESETS]
    Put these paths in the first commit

GLOBAL OPTIONS

-R, --repository <REPOSITORY>
    Path to repository to operate on By default, Jujutsu searches for the closest .jj/ directory in an ancestor of the current working directory.

--ignore-working-copy
    Don't snapshot the working copy, and don't update it By default, Jujutsu snapshots the working copy at the beginning of every command. The working copy is also updated at the end of the command, if the command modified the working-copy commit (`@`). If you want to avoid snapshotting the working copy and instead see a possibly stale working-copy commit, you can use `--ignore-working-copy`. This may be useful e.g. in a command prompt, especially if you have another process that commits the working copy. Loading the repository at a specific operation with `--at-operation` implies `--ignore-working-copy`.

--ignore-immutable
    Allow rewriting immutable commits By default, Jujutsu prevents rewriting commits in the configured set of immutable commits. This option disables that check and lets you rewrite any commit but the root commit. This option only affects the check. It does not affect the `immutable_heads()` revset or the `immutable` template keyword.

--at-operation <AT_OPERATION>
    Operation to load the repo at Operation to load the repo at. By default, Jujutsu loads the repo at the most recent operation, or at the merge of the divergent operations if any. You can use `--at-op=<operation ID>` to see what the repo looked like at an earlier operation. For example `jj --at-op=<operation ID> st` will show you what `jj st` would have shown you when the given operation had just finished. `--at-op=@` is pretty much the same as the default except that divergent operations will never be merged. Use `jj op log` to find the operation ID you want. Any unambiguous prefix of the operation ID is enough. When loading the repo at an earlier operation, the working copy will be ignored, as if `--ignore-working-copy` had been specified. It is possible to run mutating commands when loading the repo at an earlier operation. Doing that is equivalent to having run concurrent commands starting at the earlier operation. There's rarely a reason to do that, but it is possible.

--debug
    Enable debug logging

--color <WHEN>
    When to colorize output
    [possible values: always, never, debug, auto]

--quiet
    Silence non-primary command output For example, `jj file list` will still list files, but it won't tell you if the working copy was snapshotted or if descendants were rebased. Warnings and errors will still be printed.

--no-pager
    Disable the pager

--config <NAME=VALUE>
    Additional configuration options (can be repeated) The name should be specified as TOML dotted keys. The value should be specified as a TOML expression. If string value isn't enclosed by any TOML constructs (such as array notation), quotes can be omitted.

--config-file <PATH>
    Additional configuration files (can be repeated)
