Is there any way to incrementally build commit messages in git?

Question

I\'m wondering if it is possible to build git commit messages incrementally, documenting what I\'m doing as I make code changes:

1. Check out and begin work

Answer 1

You are supposed to do a commit for every small change you do that requires a message. This is especially easy with a distributed versioning system like git that you are using.

1. Check out and begin work
2. Make a code change
3. Enter commit message and commit
4. Repeat 2 and 3
5. Push updates

And if you for some reason dislike this pattern and want to do the way you described, just use notepad and append to your message after coding a while and then copy paste it when commiting.
