Bugs

• Multi-line is always optional
• Multi-line always shows two entry inputs, even if first is empty
• Should throw an error if no staged changes?
• Remove .cmt.bkp on success --prev

Features

• Character limits
• Line length limits
• Make parts optional

  @? and !@? operators?

• List option?

  Automatically adds a hyphen to each entry?

• Repeated sections

  e.g. Co-Author: ${Name} ${Email}

• Optional output bits

  e.g. (${Scope}) shouldn't show brackets if no Scope provided

• Descriptions alongside part name
• Free-text option in option lists

Doing

Done

• Format parser doesn't properly detect end of Literals

  Should just stop on $ - might be a dollar sign that isn't a Named

• List item parsing too restrictive

  List items can only contain letters and spaces

• ${*} name - from CLI argument

  Wildcard name would accept whatever is passed in on command line: e.g. cmt "blah blah" - the "blah blah" goes in ${*} place

• Shouldn't be able to add blank Line
• Better error message for * missing

  If ${*} detected, then say if no command line argument given

• Should search up directories to find .cmt
• Should support ~/.cmt for global option
• Add comments to .cmt
• pre-commit errors don't get displayed at all

  Probably need to show stderr in some cases?

• Show options in flat list if short?
• Option to show files that have changed

  Useful for things like ${Scope} - autocomplete maybe? git diff --name-only

• Need to escape shell characters in Cmt.IO.Git
• Store previous commit info if it fails

  Store if commit fails. cmt --prev option?

• Extra \n at end of output
• Should strip empty space/newlines from end of file
• Way to store pre-written commits

  Occasionally used messages: e.g. "version bump", "latest notes", etc.

• Should pipe input out as it's happening
• XDG Base Directory support for .cmt file
• --dry-run option
• Should throw an error if .cmt.bkp missing and using --prev
• --no-color option
• New screencast
