Hello,
when I execute
git commit file.txt
(by listing file as argumentbut without the -a switch) for a file
file.txt that I have made changes without staged them in the index, the
changes are still commited.
Is there a way to make this work like command
git commit
without committing the changes that are not staged in the index?
Best
Marcin

I do not think there is.
The "git commit --only [<pathspec>...]" mode (which is the default)
was introduced as a variant whose blast radius is much smaller than
the "git commit --include [<pathspec>...]" mode (which was the only
mode before "--only" was introduced), but what you seem to be after
is a mode that is even finer-grained one.
I do not offhand see a reason why such a mode should not exist. It
would be called the "git commit --cached [<pathspec>...]" mode (that
would be listed next to the existing "--only" and "--include" modes
in the documentation), by taking inspiration from the name of
another command "git diff --cached [<pathspec>...]" (i.e., use only
the contents already added to the index), if we were to add one.
