Essentially what I want is like 'git commit -a', except that I want the resulting commit on a branch I name instead of the current one, and I want my current index not being modified. At the moment I emulate that via git commit -a -m TEMP": `date` $*" && \ git push -f nsd master:temp && \ git reset HEAD^ && \ but that a) changes the index (ok, not that bad), and it will change my current commit in the case that there are no unmodified files (no commit -> head doesn't point where I want). Ok, that can be prevented by --allow-empty. But still I'd like to know if there is a cleaner solution, esp. with respect to the index. (Ah, the point of all this is to take the exact current worktree and push it to a compile&deploy server; I don't want to chop my work into commits before I even could compile it.)

Actually, it seems commit -m 'index' commit -a -m 'worktree' ...push git reset HEAD^ git reset --soft HEAD^ might do the index trick. But is there a direct way to convert the current working tree into a tree object? Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."

PARENT=$(git rev-parse HEAD) TREE=$(git write-tree) COMMIT=$(git commit-tree -p $PARENT -m "message' $TREE) git push origin $COMMIT:refs/heads/teh-branch write-tree+commit-tree is what git-commit does internally. ``` ## Andreas Schwab, 2012-11-05 22:36 Subject: Re: Like commit -a, but...

You can create a temporary index by setting the GIT_INDEX_FILE env var.
