How to use extension after it has been installed
With the extension installed, open VS Code at the root of a git repo.
- Open VS Code.
- Go to the Source Control (Git Extension) tab. You'll see this extension added.
- Make a change to a file and use the Source Control pane to stage a file.
- Click the extension button.
- You'll see a message added the commit message box. Edit it if you want.
- Commit with the VS Code UI. e.g. Use CTRL+ENTER or press the tick button.
To avoid having to use the extension with the mouse, you can use the command bar:
- Press CTRL+SHIFT+P to open it up, select Auto Commit Message and press enter or click it.
- Your cursor will move to the commit message box, so now you can press commit with the keyboard. Use CTRL+ENTER.
