You can edit your commit message ahead of time in git too.

What's your workflow like to do this?

[Superfud]

Initial empty commit with just a message you can create with "git commit --allow-empty -m'Early commit message"

Then when you have the changes lined up you --amend that same commit.

There's nothing to it, it's just "git commit".

You then add your changes and "git commit --amend".

(These could be aliases. Mine are "ci" and "ca" respectively.)

[adastra22]

You can do that. But I mean there is literally a spot in the .git directory for the work-in-progress commit message. When you later do git commit -a or whatever, it pulls up the message.

Is there any way you can be specific enough for people to reproduce this?

[adastra22]

I don’t do it, because I don’t find it valuable. I’m kinda confused at why patent poster wants to do this. Just pointing out that git supports it too.
