I have been using vim-fugitive which is great but I haven't figured out a good way to work on a commit message while I am adding files. My workflow has been like this...

:Gstatus

diff the files in a vsplit with 

dv

look through the diff, go to another editor compose the message and then git add the file 

-

repeat for all needed additions copy the composed message from my other editor and then

cc

and paste my commit message into fugitive's commit butter. I would like to develop a way to work on the commit message as I am going through and adding the files without having to get out of vim. What do you think is the best flow to accomplish this?

  • Fugitive provides `:Gcommit` (and bindings for it in `:Gstatus`). You can view files while editing a commit message from `git commit` as well, esp. if your `$EDITOR` is set to `vim`. – D. Ben Knoble Dec 16 '18 at 20:18
