commit-confirm

To review a git commit message before finalizing, use a pre-commit review step that displays the staged message and waits for your confirmation. This prevents unclear history and accidental errors by letting you modify the message before executing git commit.

Pre-commit review in version control is the practice of presenting a proposed commit message to the developer for interactive feedback before the change is finalized. It ensures the message aligns with project standards and prevents accidental, unchecked commits.

You can set up interactive commit confirmation by running a script that interacts with git to display staged messages and await user feedback. This allows developers to modify the proposed message, ensuring clarity and appropriateness before the commit is executed.

No specific git hooks or external dependencies are required to enable commit message confirmation. The feature operates through standalone scripts that interact directly with git to display the staged message and await user confirmation before finalizing.

The best way to prevent accidental commits without reviewing the message is to implement an interactive feedback step that shows the proposed commit message and requires explicit user confirmation before git commit is executed.
