My company has a policy that all checkins to a particular project must follow a specific multi-line template for git commits. How can I most simply create a single commit message that has multiple lines from the command line in Windows?
This is almost exactly a duplicate of " Add line break to git commit -m from command line " except that this question is specific to Windows/cmd.exe, while that question is related to bash.
Either create a file that contains your commit message in the right format and use git commit -F <message_file>
, after which you can continually edit and reuse that same file, or create a template file and use git commit -t <template_file>
to open your editor with the pre-cooked template to be filled in. The second option can be made permanent by setting the commit.template
configuration variable, so you don't need to use the -t ...
bit on every commit. See the git commit
manual page ( git help commit
, if your git
is installed correctly, or search online) for more information.
You can create multiline commit message like this:
C:\> git commit -m "Line 1"^
More?
More? "Line 2"^
More?
More? "Line 3"
Note, that the circumflex character is only on odd lines.
git commit -m "Subject" -m "Description..."
You can also use interactive rebase and then reword for editing the commit's message.
Type git commit -m "doesnt really matter whats here"
and then git rebase -i HEAD~1
, replace pick
with r
or reword
, save and then edit the message.
