Add rules for commit messages & only generate the message for staged changes

AnhDD Kuro

For some demo projects, it's fine, but for projects with rules for commit messages, it's completely useless. It would be very helpful if there were a way to make it read the rules before generating. ( .winsurfrules / global rules )

Plus only generate the message for staged changes.

I created an extension for this reason only, because most of these IDE's don't let you customize the rule for the commit messages. I currently use the built in one just for quick changes instead of complex ones, which I use my extension and it only uses the staged files for context.

the commit messages should only be created for files that I have staged changes.
I'm experiencing the same problem. It creates a msg that includes all the edits files even if, not staged.
also it would be great idea as you mention to have naming rules for the commit msg
