What does a hyphen followed by a single character (like -v -m, etc.) mean when working in a terminal? For example, you commit a change in the Git Bash using:

git commit -m "commit"

What are those? How are those kind of commands called? Where can I read a list of those commands for the cmd, for the Python terminal and for the Git Bash?

I've tried searching for them in google but looking for the meaning of a single character is fruitless and I don't know the correct term to look for.
