- Click Commit. The version control system displays results in the Messages View.
To commit a directory or an entire project
- In the Project Manager, right-click the folder or the project that you want to commit.
- In the context menu, select Git > Commit.
- Under the Commit command in the context menu, select one of the following subcommands:
- From Repository Root searches up the directory tree to find the last directory managed by the same repository as the project file and then adds to the commit pane all the files in that directory and below.
- From Project Directory adds to the commit pane all files in the project directory and below.
- The Commit (Git) pane appears in the main window of the IDE. Select the files you want to commit in the Commit to: Location field.
