How do I customize the format of git rebase --interactive commit messages?
- by adamjford
Hi everyone,
I use git for my local work (and love it ever so much), and I follow a workflow similar to the one described in this article. So basically, when starting on a new feature, I create a branch for it, go through the usual hack then commit cycle, and when I think I'm done with it, I squash it into a single commit using git rebase --interactive master, and these squashed commit messages always end up looking like the example in the article, reproduced here:
[#3275] User Can Add A Comment To a Post
* Adding Comment model, migrations, spec
* Adding Comment controller, helper, spec
* Adding Comment relationship with Post
* Comment belongs to a User
* Comment form on Post show page
Of course, that's after a bunch of removing # This is the xth commit message lines and copy/pasting * in front of each commit message.
Now, what I was wondering, is there any way to customize how git rebase -i outputs the merged commit messages so I don't have to do all that hacking?
(I use msysgit, if that matters.)
Thanks!
