Geany 1.37 and Linux. I'd like to use geany to edit my git commit
messages. I have configured git so that when I type "git commit", an edit window for the commit message opens in geany and showing the git commit.template I have created.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but after typing my commit message in
geany, saving it and then closing that window, the just-created commit message does not seem to have found its way to git so that I can later push to my repository. Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed a step or misunderstood something?
I know that I can use the Version Control plug-in in geany to create
commit messages but would like to use the sequence I just described above if I can get it to work.
You need to add --new-instance to ensure git can wait until you finish editing before it continues.

Thanks.

So "git commit --new-instance"?
