How could I launch the sequence of git commands from java application?

Question

I need to add the file to the repository and then commit it from my java project. I use

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git\\bin\\sh.exe");

to start git but what should I do next?

Answer 1

Instead of running the command line tool directly from your Java application, consider using Git APIs for Java, such as JavaGit. The cookbook has examples that you can follow.
