How to write full message while commiting with git?


This is how I commit with git :

git add -A
git commit -m 'added theme color and image error handling'

But it throws an error for the commit message :

error: pathspec 'theme' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'color' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'and' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'image' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'error' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'handling'' did not match any file(s) known to git

How can I write full commit message with git ?


Solution

  • Just USE double quotes instead of single if you are window user:

    git commit -m "initial commit" instead of git commit -m 'initial commit'
