function Save-GitChange
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Commits changes to a Git repository.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `Save-GitChange` function commits changes to a Git repository. Those changes must be staged first with `git add` or the `LibGit2` module's `Add-GitItem` function. If there are no changes staged, nothing happens and you'll see a warning.
 
    You are required to pass a commit message with the `Message` parameter. This module is intended to be used by non-interactive repository automation scripts, so opening in an editor is not supported.
 
    Implements the `git commit` command.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    LibGit2.Automation.CommitInfo
 
    .LINK
    Add-GitItem
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Save-GitChange -Message 'Creating Save-GitChange function.'
 
    Demonstrates how to commit staged changes in a Git repository. In this example, the repository is assumed to be in the current directory.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Save-GitChange -Message 'Creating Save-GitChange function.' -RepoRoot 'C:\Projects\LibGit2.PowerShell'
 
    Demonstrates how to commit changes to a repository other than the current directory.
