Subject: Problem Creating Commit Messages

Message-ID: <22735968.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


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
