POST /projects/:id/repository/commits
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `branch` | string | yes | Name of the branch to commit into. To create a new branch, also provide either `start_branch` or `start_sha`, and optionally `start_project`. |
| `commit_message` | string | yes | Commit message |
| `start_branch` | string | no | Name of the branch to start the new branch from |
| `start_sha` | string | no | SHA of the commit to start the new branch from |
| `start_project` | integer/string | no | The project ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) to start the new branch from. Defaults to the value of `id`. |
| `actions[]` | array | yes | An array of action hashes to commit as a batch. See the next table for what attributes it can take. |
| `author_email` | string | no | Specify the commit author's email address |
| `author_name` | string | no | Specify the commit author's name |
| `stats` | boolean | no | Include commit stats. Default is true |
| `force` | boolean | no | When `true` overwrites the target branch with a new commit based on the `start_branch` or `start_sha` |

| `last_commit_id` | string | no | Last known file commit id. Will be only considered in update, move and delete actions. |

     --form "commit_message=some commit message" \
     --form "start_branch=master" \
     --form "actions[][action]=create" \
     --form "actions[][file_path]=foo/bar" \
     --form "actions[][content]=</path/to/local.file" \

- the `line` number is invalid (does not exist)
- the `path` is invalid (does not exist)

In any of the above cases, the response of `line`, `line_type` and `path` is
set to `null`.
