set custom commit options

[tiesmaster]

It would be nice to have the possibility to set some default commit options Fugitive adds automatically to the args list. I've aliased git ci to do git commit -v, so I always get a verbose commit message. I know I can add -v to :Gcommit, but using C from the status window is much more powerful.

Since git commit doesn't support default options, neither does :Gcommit. But you can create the equivalent of an alias:

command -bar -bang -nargs=* Gci :Gcommit<bang> -v <args>

With some autocmd trickery, you could remap C as well.

Thanks, I appreciate your answer. Ci is an alias for commit, and so should
:Gci be, I agree on that.

I'll implement it using your pointers ;)

The mapping for "Gcommit -v" to cv in status window seems to be in place, but it is not documented in the helpfile yet.
