How do I disable this annoying enforcement of comments on git

Question

I want to be able to commit without having to say something about why I am committing. Is there a way to prevent git from committing because I do not fill in a comment. I could do this with SVN without a problem, but I can't with git for some reason.

Ted.

Answer 1

From git-commit manual

git commit --allow-empty-message

Answer 2

Take a look at the answer to this SO question:

• Git commit with no commit message

Note that, though it might seem annoying at first, it's better to train yourself to actually enter comments. The above question also has links that debate/explain why this might be important.
