Subject: Wishlist: git commit --no-edit
Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:26:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nntxt8ice9.fsf@stalhein.lysator.liu.se> (raw)
I'd like to have a git commit option which is the opposite of --edit, to
use the selected commit message as is, without invoking any editor.
Main use case I see would be
git commit --amend --no-edit
(say you fix a typo in the previous commit which doesn't affect the
commit message). Today, one can get the same effect more clumsily as
EDITOR=touch git commit --amend
Or maybe as
git commit --amend -C HEAD
But I'd really prefer a --no-edit option over those alternatives. And it
might be useful also in combination with other options, e.g., it would
make the -C option equivalent to -c --no-edit, if I understand it
correctly.
Regards,
/Niels
