Is there any way to incrementally build commit messages in git?

Question

I\'m wondering if it is possible to build git commit messages incrementally, documenting what I\'m doing as I make code changes:

1. Check out and begin work

Answer 1

If you really want to do it like this (I don't recommend you to do it that way though), then try this:

1. Check out and begin work
2. Make some code changes
3. git commit
4. Make some further code changes
5. git commit --amend
6. Repeat 4 & 5
7. git commit --amend --reset-author to further reset the timestamp
