Currently, I'm aware of these options: - Use "C-x 4 a" to add entries into the ChangeLog file, and then copy those over to the commit message buffer when I'm about to create a commit. - Use "C" while on the diff buffer like described here by Jonas: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/13753/insert-changelog-entries-in-commit-message That post is from 2015 though (and according to him "it's not very good"), so maybe it's outdated. - Write and structure the commit message manually (adding change descriptions per file/symbol) So far I've been writing the commit messages manually (just found out about "C-x 4 a"), so I wanted to know if anyone has a workflow similar to the first one in the list, or maybe something more automated. Thanks. - Fede
