In the WebStorm IDE I can select a (git-) commit and choose "Edit Commit Message". Is that the same thing, or perhaps implemented by using Git Notes?

- jmiserez 4y agoNo that's not the same thing, in fact that'll just do a git rebase, changing the commit itself and all commits after that one. Pretty much the polar opposite of what you want! IntelliJ products try to provide a common interface and common naming for all "VCS" operations, whether it's Git/Mercurial/etc. In practice this obscures the actual Git operations though and requires learning yet another set of "abstract" IntelliJ-specific names for the same thing. I wish they'd stop doing that, it's really confusing and inaccurate.
- galaxyLogic 4y agoWhat they do provide is a menu that says "Edit the commit-message". I don't need to know what commands and command-options to type on the command-line to accomplish that.
