[NFBCS] Help with GIT editors

[Ryan Stevens]

Hello,

 

My company is moving to GIT as our source control after years on SourceGear
Vault. I have been learning and working with GIT on Windows Command Line and
GIT Bash relatively easily, but there are a couple of snags. First,
committing and reverting code require a message/description, and trying to
enter them doesn't seem to be working properly, and I get stuck in the
commit editor. I do use the -m parameter in the commit command to get around
this, but I don't always remember to do so. For revert, it looks like I need
to use the --no-commit parameter, then run a commit -m. Second, the training
books point out that filenames appear in different colors based on their
status, and I have no idea how to check that in the terminal window. I use
the latest version of JAWS, and I'm wondering if there are keyboard
shortcuts for these issues. Alternatively, are there other GIT editors that
are accessible and handle these problems?

 

Thanks and take care,

Ryan Stevens
