When someone makes a use commit -a, a default editor appears, populated with the contents of the command git status(but with all lines preceding the pound sign).
commit -a
git status
Is it possible for the git diffeditor to populate the output instead of the content git status?
git diff
Yes, this was made possible by using the flag --verbose; your full team then becomes git commit -a --verbose, or, more concise git commit -av.
--verbose
git commit -a --verbose
git commit -av
