Committing

Committing changes can be done by hitting the commit button. It will prompt you to choose commit or commit and push. Note that if you have selected to commit trough an external program you will be taken to that program once you hit the commit button and the commit and push button will be grayed out. Once the changes are committed you can push them to your remote repository.

Commit Message

UniGit allows for multiple commit message settings. You can either type the message in unity or if you are like me and want more control and especially spellchecking you can use a file as your commit message. The option to chose what type of commit message to use is located in the Commit menu from the Git Diff windows in Commit/Commit Message/Read From File.

Note that commit amending works for both unity and file commit messages.

File Commit Message

If the option Read From File is turned on, then unity will use the file located in your .git folder under .git/UniGit/Settings/CommitMessage.txt.

You can quickly open the file by hitting the Commit/Commit Message/Open File option in the Git Diff window. Unity Refreshed the commit message automatically so that you can see it in the editor as well.

Amending

If you have just committed some changes but forgot to add something that doesn't require a whole new commit, you can click the Amend Commit option to add any uncommitted changes to your last commit, without creating an entirely new commit. UniGit automatically copies your last commit message.
