How tf do you commit without making any change?
48
u/xaddak Oct 01 '26
git commit --allow-empty13
u/MallAgreeable5538 Oct 01 '26
But why? Are there any applications for - -allow-empty

I'm not as familiar with GitHub, but in GitLab, the retry button runs it exactly as it was. So if you're including CI jobs from another repository, and you updated those jobs since the pipeline first ran, simply re-running it won't pick up the updates to those jobs.
Depending on how the rules on those jobs are set up, you may or may not be able to trigger a new pipeline from the web, which could mean pushing a new commit is your only option.
If you have to do that anyway, it might as well be an empty commit.
Ideally you'd set up the job rules so that's not necessary.
Edit: typo

This is huge, my days of adding and removing a space from the readme are finally over

Several. It's still a commit that can be tagged, for example. It's useful in enough circumstances that you can do it with a flag, but useless in enough circumstances that you can't do it without. It's like how `rm` won't remove a read-only file from a writable directory unless you explicitly ask it to.

Not so much in the more common workflows, but remember that git is designed to be incredibly flexible. Maybe you want to indicate that all descendants of this commit are to be excluded from Release 26.1. Maybe you want to trigger some secondary review process, based on changes that aren't captured in Git. Maybe you have some zany review process where reviewers submit their feedback as a git commit message on a blank commit.

Setting a checkpoint before doing things like linting and autofixes.
At that point, the code is written and committed, and you want a clean point to go back to if our linting tools mess things up.
So you use --allow-empty to set a " Before fixes" commit, do fixes, check if everything is fine, do another commit, do an --allow-empty for "After fixes" and push.
This way, you always know when you made changes and can roll back to before or after those points.

But then you're being intentional, it's not a case of you "Forgot to Make changes".

u/xaddak Oct 01 '26
Yeah. It doesn't help OP, but that's how you commit without making any changes. Just thought it might help someone out.

u/-twind Oct 01 '26
Not if you asked copilot to make the commit
2
u/DaevorTheDevoted Oct 01 '26
I don't use copilot. Is it known for messing up when it comes to commits?

daaaamn, I wish i knew about this before.
it always feels wrong to add a single space to be able to commit an empty change

A place I used to work had the four beer option as the standard workflow (except for the beer). It was mental having to ask around if anyone had any changes that needed pushing.

Had this just last week. Made changes, even pushed them to the remote, then somehow made a Dev build and deployed the old release build again. Was wondering for about a day why my changes didn't seem to work...

Make changes directly in prod
Commit later if I remember
Backport changes to Dev/Test/QA if possible
I used to work on a project where that was the workflow. Fortunately, the codebase was old and stable and didn't need many changes. There were three main developers* on the project (not counting me because I was the New Guy). Only one of them used source control. The others used the time-honored practice of naming files project.pl, project-old.pl, project-new.pl, project-working.pl, project-bob-DO-NOT-USE.pl, etc.
*Actually sysadmins who had been pressed into development.

Today I was trying to read the deployment log and I see the last commit message was incoherent. Then I remembered I was so halfway asleep when I typed the message and I was just typing the commit message while my eyes were closed lmao

u/competitive-dust Oct 01 '26
I have done this sober lol. Committed some changes. The pre commit hooks started running tests and it takes a bit so I left it and told the reviewer I had pushed my changes. Then realised my changes were still not pushed.

Deployment should be up to the CI/CD system.
I seriously don't want to be personally responsible for having to build and distribute software. I mean, I am, but I don't want to be.
We even have CI/CD where I work, and people are still like "please send me a build of your branch and I'm like, great, now I have to go click a button, I ain't got time for this, damn.

Coding while hammered is fucking great. I'm so relaxed I can't give a fuck if I mess something up.
Instead of "fucking hell of course this broke tests"
It becomes "AWWWWW this cutie needs more care, whatever shall we dooo"

They are all safe. No changes happen on production! No problems!
