Pedantic commit messages

[p3lim]

Add a distinct style guide for the commit messages:

• First line should be max 50 characters
• Second line should be empty
• Any subsequent lines should be max 72 characters

Coloring the background of any characters that exceed limits is ideal, only warning the user.

This should be optional, of course.

See #119. Someone just needs to make a kick-butt syntax for commits in general.

Spent a little time on this. If I can't get it back it mainline I'll probably create a whole new repository and package. Still tweaking the styles.

@divmain Would you like this kind of thing in GitSavvy proper?

[joshgoebel]

Having multiple syntax files for different modes gets messy at some point (though it might be ok for only two options).

[divmain]

@yyyc514, please see my comment in #119. I'm not averse to including a "pedantic commit message syntax" in GitSavvy proper - it can be commented out as an alternative in the default GitSavvy.sublime-settings file.

[divmain]

For anyone interested, @yyyc514 may have a custom syntax definition for commit views that you can use. However, as I commented in #119, I'm not 100% sure I can preserve this new behavior while moving the commit view to being more interface-like.

I'll leave this open until the feature is officially announced as part of a changelog.

hey, @yyyc514!
How did you make the commit view look like this?
I cloned https://github.com/adambullmer/sublime_git_commit_syntax
now when I open Commit view and run in console

>>> view.settings().get('syntax')
'Packages/sublime_git_commit_syntax/commit-message.tmLanguage'

And my diff look really boring. Now there are no color at all

Try my fork:

Still, not working. What theme are you using?

[joshgoebel]

A custom one, but the syntax just uses common things like "Entity", etc.
