GIT: How to add a file later to a commit?

+2 votes
425 views

How can I add a file later to a commit? I created a new branch and submitted a commit with 2 files.

I observed, that one more file should have been submitted with this commit, so I would like to add a file to an earlier commit.

Any solution for this?

If it's the latest commit you want to amend, then have a look att git commit --amend. If it's not the latest commit you can start with an interactive rebase (git rebase -i), mark the commit you want to change for 'edit', and then use git commit --amend.

Can I add custom metadata to Git commit object?

Is it possible to add custom metadata to Git commit object?
Such metadata should be ignored by Git commands, but could be used by a 3-party tool which knows the format and knows where to look.

I assume that this should be possible, given that Git objects are actually patches, and patches can contain additional details. But can this be done with the help of Git commands?
