with using gitpython module, I am writing python script to check git diff --> git add of all modified files one by one. At the end I want to commit all these changes, but I didn't find the exact syntax of the command.
I'm trying with below code, 'git add' works perfectly but 'git commit' gives error.
import git
repo = git.Repo(os.getcwd())
files = repo.git.diff(None, name_only=True)
for f in files.split('\n'):
show_diff(f)
repo.git.add(f)
repo.git.commit('test commit', author='[email protected]')
Here is the error I'm seeing, it seems the something is missing in cmd arguments.
In [10]: repo.git.commit("test commit", author="[email protected]")

Resolved the issue, need to add "-m" flag in the commit command as below:
repo.git.commit('-m', 'test commit', author='[email protected]')
