Feature Request: Support .gitmessage file #1469
Description
Description
I love this plugin! I'd love it even more if it supported commit templates.
I have a ~/.gitmessage file set up to help guide me towards better commit messages. The 'Commit message' input for this plugin does not pull content in from that file.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a
~/.gitmessagefile that contains this git commit template (for example):
Why:
*
This change addresses the need by:
*
Reference Links:
*
- Add this section to your
~/.gitconfigfile:
[commit]
template = ~/.gitmessage
- Make some changes in a repository
- Open the Git plugin by opening the Packages menu, opening the GitHub sub menu, and selecting Toggle Git Tab
- Click into the 'Commit message' text area
Expected behavior:
The 'Commit message' text area should be pre-populated with the contents of my ~/.gitmessage file.
Actual behavior:
The 'Commit message' text area is blank.
Reproduces how often:

hi @JamesChevalier! I've chatted about this with some other maintainers of the atom-github package. This is a great idea. Is there any chance you'd be interested in working on it yourself? We'd be happy to work with you on coming up with an architecture plan, designs, etc.
If not, that's totally fine of course -- we can add it to our roadmap of things we'd like to build in the future.

Sounds fun!
I'm primarily a Ruby developer and I've never worked on an Atom plugin before, but I'm happy to help out as much as I can and learn along the way. 👍 🚀

@JamesChevalier @annthurium Hi, this is really a great feature. I use commit.template a
lot. And probably the reason still using git+ for committing the changes.
Is it work in progress? I would love to work on this.
Is there already any specs for this feature?
Two ideas:
If 'commit.template' is set in gitconfig then:
