From: bggy Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:44:10 GMT Subject: Problem Creating Commit Messages Message-ID: <22735968.post@talk.nabble.com> Hello, I'm new to git and I haven't been able to create commit messages in either vim or textmate(changed core.editor to mate). I can create commit messages when I use the -m option, but I like creating multiple-line messages and it's easier to do it with a fresh line-break in the terminal. Using textmate I saved and closed the textmate file that pops up after $git commit -a, but git responds that the commit was terminated due to an empty message. I am not familiar with VIM, can change modes, but none of the key combos I tried worked. Thank you!, John -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-Creating-Commit-Messages-tp22735968p22735968.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
