Example
This hook is called after the pre-commit hook to populate the text editor with a commit message. This is typically used to alter the automatically generated commit messages for squashed or merged commits.
One to three arguments are passed to this hook:
- The name of a temporary file that contains the message.
- The type of commit, either
- message (
-mor-Foption), - template (
-toption), - merge (if it's a merge commit), or
- squash (if it's squashing other commits).
- message (
- The SHA1 hash of the relevant commit. This is only given if
-c,-C, or--amendoption was given.
Similar to pre-commit, exiting with a non-zero status aborts the commit.
