Git commit in VS Code without any message

Question

How do I git commit my changes in VS Code without any message? In terminal I use --allow-empty-message -m '' . I used to be able to do what I want in VS Code by entering one space character, but that is no longer working.

Answer 1

I also wonder if using git in this way is a good option

No, that would pollute the history of your commits.

Using the extension "Local history" is a better approach, and does not rely on your VCS. (and is open-source: github.com/zabel-xyz/local-history )

Every time you modify a file, a copy of the old contents is kept in the local history. At any time, you can compare a file with any older version from the history. It can help you out when you change or delete a file by accident. The history can also help you out when your workspace has a catastrophic problem.

Answer 2

Just write the commit message and click on V.

You will get the notification "Create Empty Commit".

Click on it.
