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?
