To push an empty commit to a remote repository in Git, you can create a commit without changes using the –allow-empty flag. This is useful for purposes like triggering CI/CD pipelines or adding metadata.
Here’s how to create and push an empty commit:
git commit –allow-empty -m “Trigger pipeline or log metadata”
git push origin
The –allow-empty flag creates a commit without modifying files. Afterward, the git push command sends it to the specified branch on the remote repository. Empty commits are often used for testing or operational purposes without altering project content.
