Add option to wrap commit messages to 72 characteres

39 votes

The commit message in GitKraken is limited to 1 line and 72 characters.

As a user, I want the text to wrap if I have a longer message. This could even be made the default behaviour if such option is easy to toggle.

Showing a char count to the title would also be useful, as some repos have rules about this. Actually, all this should be an option that can be customized per repository also beside a default setting. It might even be useful to have different defaults based on groups of repositories, depending on which organization they belong to. Having some RegEx pattern there might solve this.

+1 Not having this makes it difficult to satisfy my pre-commit hook that is based on https://cbea.ms/git-commit/. I agree with Axel: configurable per repo, as well as a global default value. Would also be nice if it was a "smart wrap", that would wrap after the last full word/token before the boundary.
