Why should I use this?

It would not be a good git usage habit to reuse commit messages.

Sometimes, however, I see the old commit message and try to recycle it.

• View recent commit messages as a list.
• You can autocomplete and modify old commit messages and write new commit messages.

Installation

.gitconfig

Open .gitconfig, and check editor is specified as the vim you are using.

[core]
    editor = /usr/local/bin/vim

The easiest way to find out what vim you are using is to check with which vim.

$ which vim

Please change if the path of .gitconfig.core.editor differs from the output of which vim command.

VimPlug

Place this in your .vimrc:

Plug 'johngrib/vim-git-msg-wheel'

Then run the following in Vim:

:source %

:PlugInstall
