Add option to wrap commit messages to 72 characteres
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.

+1 I have to write my commits in an external editor and copy / paste. Would love to be able to do this directly in GitKraken. -

Axel HeiderShowing 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.

Ian Strascina+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.

KevinI was really excited to grab up GitKraken and then was disappointed by the commit message editor. Commit messages are the thing devs use most!
I'm firmly in the hard line wraps in git commit messages camp. It would be nice to have the option on a per-repo basis, and to have a popup editor window. I really do use the same format as https://cbea.ms/git-commit/, with the hanging indents and everything. But unfortunately, hardly any Git integrations, including GitKraken, give what is really needed: Fixed-width character based editor with line wrap assistance. So I end up doing 'git commit' from the command line and editing in VSCode or Vim.
Really appreciate the header length warning. -

Thomas+1 Maintaining styleguide rules is hard to achieve otherwise.
Also it should not be an exotic request (looking at e.g. conventional commits; https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/). Best would be to have configurable char length for title line and body seperately. -

TylerMy company enforces this and PyCharm has this feature. A purely git focused application should have this as well.
