🚀 Gitcme v1.7.0 – Free‑form Text, Git Editor Mode, i18n & More!

We're excited to announce Gitcme v1.7.0 – a major update packed with new features, improvements, and fixes! This release brings three big additions: Free‑form Text mode, Git Editor Mode (COMMIT_EDITMSG) using a proper FileSystemProvider, and full internationalization (i18n) with Persian (فارسی) support. Plus, advanced issue references, frequent value chips, auto‑format body, and many more quality‑of‑life improvements.

✨ What's New

📝 Free‑form Text Mode

Write commit messages in a large textarea without the structured form – perfect for quick edits or when you prefer raw text. The editor automatically parses your message and syncs with the form.

🖥️ Git Editor Mode (COMMIT_EDITMSG)

Open a full VS Code editor to write your commit message, just like git commit from the terminal. Features:

  • Full VS Code editing (autocomplete, extensions, syntax highlighting)
  • Automatic 50/72 character rulers
  • # lines are ignored as comments
  • Auto‑apply to Source Control on save (Ctrl+S)
  • Configurable via autoApplyGitEditor and scmTitleCommand

🌍 Internationalization (i18n)

Now available in English and Persian (فارسی). The UI language automatically follows VS Code's display language, or you can manually set it via gitCommitMessageEditor.language.

🔗 Advanced Issue/PR References

Full support for GitHub's autolinked references:

  • #123, GH-123, owner/repo#123
  • Multiple keywords per field: Resolves #10, resolves #123, resolves octo-org/octo-repo#100
  • Supported keywords: close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved

📊 Frequent Type/Scope Chips

The most commonly used Type and Scope values are automatically extracted from your last 50 commits and displayed as clickable chips above the fields.

✏️ Auto‑Format Body

A new "Format" button wraps body lines based on maxLineLength, preserving paragraphs – no more manual line breaks!
