operation. Currently, this is done by invoking `git-add --interactive`.

OPTIONS
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
--no-verify::
- This option bypasses the pre-commit hook.

--allow-empty::
from making such a commit. This option bypasses the safety, and
is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts.
+--cleanup=<mode>::
+ This option sets how the commit message is cleaned up.
+ The '<mode>' can be one of 'verbatim', 'whitespace', 'strip',
+ and 'default'. The 'default' mode will strip leading and
+ trailing empty lines and #commentary from the commit message
+ only if the message is to be edited. Otherwise only whitespace
+ removed. The 'verbatim' mode does not change message at all,
+ 'whitespace' removes just leading/trailing whitespace lines
+ and 'strip' removes both whitespace and commentary.
+
-e|--edit::
The message taken from file with `-F`, command line with
`-m`, and from file with `-C` are usually used as the
as well. This is usually not what you want unless you
are concluding a conflicted merge.
+-o|--only::
+ Make a commit only from the paths specified on the
+ command line, disregarding any contents that have been
+ staged so far. This is the default mode of operation of
+ 'git commit' if any paths are given on the command line,
+ in which case this option can be omitted.
+ If this option is specified together with '--amend', then
+ no paths need be specified, which can be used to amend
+ the last commit without committing changes that have
+ already been staged.
+
-u|--untracked-files::
Show all untracked files, also those in uninteresting
directories, in the "Untracked files:" section of commit
