Use cake to perform git commit without name and email

The cake GitCommit alias wants a name and email:

public static GitCommit GitCommit(this ICakeContext context, DirectoryPath repositoryDirectoryPath, string name, string email, string message)

How can I commit without specifying them (and it would use the repo's defaults)?

For example, the same as I can do in the shell: $ git commit -m message.

Solution

  • I found a reasonable workaround:

    var name  = GitConfigGet<string>(repoDirectory, "user.name"));
var email = GitConfigGet<string>(repoDirectory, "user.email");

GitCommit(repoDirectory, name, email, "message");
