history

Project history and usage

Kommit is a small Git helper that lets users collect detailed commit-message notes before running `git commit`. It stores the notes in `.git/kommit-message` and uses a `prepare-commit-msg` hook to append them to the final commit message.

Project history

The repository was created on 2016-01-15, matching the README changelog entry for the initial commit. Version 0.1.0 followed on 2016-01-16, and the README records the 2016-02-10 switch to the `git-kommit` filename for Git subcommand integration.

Adoption history

Kommit's adoption footprint is intentionally small: it is a shell tool distributed through Homebrew and other Unix package sets for developers who want a scratchpad for commit-message detail without modifying source code.

How it is used

Typical use is `git kommit -m` or `git kommit -t` to append notes, `git kommit -s` to show them, and `git kommit -i` to install the Git hook.

Why package nerds care

Kommit is notable as a compact example of Git's external-command convention and hook system: a single executable named `git-kommit` becomes `git kommit` and coordinates with `.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg`.

Timeline

  • 2016-01-15: Initial commit recorded in the README changelog.
  • 2016-01-16: v0.1.0 released.
  • 2016-02-10: Renamed to `git-kommit` for Git integration.
  • 2016-03-05: Commit-message hook behavior updated so `git commit -m` includes Kommit notes.

Related projects

  • The README cites commit-comments as an inspiration point and lists editor integrations for TextMate, Atom, Sublime, Vim, and Emacs.
