commit — Claude Code command: what it does, how to install
Creates a git commit based on current branch changes. Helps stage and commit diffs in Claude Code without typing commit messages.
/plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-officialWhat commit does
The command inspects working changes via git status and git diff HEAD. It also checks the branch name and the last 10 log entries. This provides context on repo style.
Tool access is limited to git add, git status, and git commit. The agent stages files and commits them in one turn. It prints no extra commentary.
Install this if you want rapid commits after coding. If your workflow needs interactive line staging, stick to manual terminal commands.
What it helps with
- stage modified files and create a commit
- generate a commit message matching recent log style
- commit working directory changes in a single action
Example prompts for the agent
- /commit
- Commit recent changes
- Stage and commit my edits
