Right now an example git commit message looks like below. It has the filename listed * emacs.d/robenkleene/config/robenkleene-config.el:. How do I not have the commit message pre-populated with that line? (Everything prefixed with a # is fine, it's just the one line listing the filename that will actually appear as part of the commit message that I want to never appear by default in commit messages.)

* emacs.d/robenkleene/config/robenkleene-config.el: 

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
# On branch master
# Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   modified:   emacs.d/robenkleene/config/robenkleene-config.el

  • I don't see it happen here, you must have some customization that causes this.

  • Thanks for the info! It definitely might be a customization on my side.

I figured this out. I was using C, to start a commit which fires magit-commit-add-log, which I guess means also include this entry. The correct commit binding to use is c c, which starts a commit without the file entry.

  • Yeah, it really means add that entry to the current commit message, if there is no current commit message then it starts a commit first.
