Question: git commit -v uncomment Changes to be commited

mike.gaffney· Jun 19, 2008, 03:04 UTC · lore

I find myself always uncommenting the "Changes to be commited:" section on a git commit -v. Other than a nifty regex with vi, I'm wondering if there is a way to customize the unified diff that is created with commit -v. I've looked through the list, but it is one of those things where I don't really know how to ask the question (phrase the search). I would be glad of any help that people could give me.

Thanks,
   Mike Gaffney

You probably want to edit the hook .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg in your repository. Don't forget to enable it with chmod +x.
