I've just found that git-gui does not show commit templates. I've checked and found this commit: 627c87f84c157885d587125cf0c73591a0e3ee7a which suggests to me that the issue should have been fixed, but it clearly has not. I've removed git-gui from the system (Ubuntu package), and compiled the latest mainline git-gui (as of today), and the problem remains. (In fact, worse, its now auto-filling in my signed-off-by: line rather than leaving the commit message blank (or preferably, showing the template). -Ian ``` ## stefan.naewe@atlas-elektronik.com, 2022-06-03 14:36 Subject: AW: BUG report: git-gui does not show commit message templates Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/dfec506780af46639ed67be364cd43cb%40atlas-elektronik.com In-Reply-To: <870137b1-9134-5791-d9fa-4826687e0781@mnementh.co.uk> ``` > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Ian Molton > Gesendet: Freitag, 3.

It seems that git gui wants to load the template file from (or relative to) the .git directory. > (In fact, worse, its now auto-filling in my signed-off-by: line rather than leaving the > commit message blank (or preferably, showing the template).

Hi, I tried copying the file into .git/ and ~/ but it still did not pick it up. -Ian ```
