Git Committing Creating an empty commit
Example
Generally speaking, empty commits (or commits with state that is identical to the parent) is an error.
However, when testing build hooks, CI systems, and other systems that trigger off a commit, it's handy to be able to easily create commits without having to edit/touch a dummy file.
The --allow-empty commit will bypass the check.
git commit -m "This is a blank commit" --allow-empty
