create_commit

Description:

public OId? create_commit (string? update_ref, Signature author, Signature committer, string? message_encoding, string message, Tree tree, Commit[] parents) throws Error

Create a new commit.

If update_ref is not null, the given reference will be updated to point to the newly created commit. Use "HEAD" to update the HEAD of the current branch and make it point to this commit.

If message_encoding is set to null, "UTF-8" encoding is assumed for the provided message. Note that message will not be cleaned up automatically. You can use message_prettify to do this yourself if needed.

Parameters:

this	a Repository.
update_ref	name of the reference to update.
author	author signature.
committer	committer signature (and time of commit).
message_encoding	message encoding.
message	commit message.
tree	the tree of objects to commit.
parents	parent commits.
parent_count	number of parent commits in `parents`.

Returns:

the OId of the created commit object, or null in case of an error.
