Stage and commit changes

To commit changes, start with staging the files to be included in the commit using git_add() or git_rm(). Use git_status() to see an overview of staged and unstaged changes, and finally git_commit() creates a new commit with currently staged files.

git_commit_all is a shorthand that will automatically stage all new and modified files and then commit.

Also git_log() shows the most recent commits and git_ls() lists all the files that are being tracked in the repository.

git_commit(message, author = NULL, committer = NULL, repo = ".")

git_commit_all(message, author = NULL, committer = NULL, repo = ".")

git_add(files, force = FALSE, repo = ".")

git_rm(files, repo = ".")

git_status(repo = ".")

git_ls(repo = ".")

git_log(ref = "HEAD", max = 100, repo = ".")

git_reset(type = c("soft", "hard", "mixed"), ref = "HEAD",
  repo = ".")
