A settings file for Sublime Text to help format git commit messages with subject headings and line wrapping.

Git Commit Message.sublime-settings

// This is the settings file for git commit messages in Sublime Text inspired by http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/.
// These settings will help assist in formatting git commit messages with the following -
//   * Subject lines should be no more than 50 characters.
//   * Other lines should wrap at 72 characters.
//
// It makes use of the AutoWrap package (https://github.com/randy3k/AutoWrap) to hard wrap lines.
//
// These settings put vertical rulers ar 50 chars and 72 chars and will hard wrap at 72 chars.
// These settings will only affect git commit messages because it is a syntax specific settings file.
//
// Follow these instructions to make it work -
//   1. Open Sublime Text.
//   2. Open a new file.
//   3. Change the syntax for the file to git commit by going to the bottom-right and selecting -
//        Git -> Git Commit Message.
//   4. Now go to the menu and select -
//        Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - More -> Syntax Specific - User
//   5. A file will open called Git Commit Messag.sublime-settings. Copy and paste the contents of this file into it and save.
//
// Now you'll need to make Sublime Text your default editor for git commits.
//   1. Open terminal and type -
//        git config --global core.editor "/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n -w"
//
// Your path to the Sublime Text app might be different and you might even be able to just use `subl -n -w` without a path.
