If you use vscode for commits, the screen area is a bit small.

Add these lines in .gitconfig to configure for use vscode for write commits.

[core]
    editor = code --wait
[difftool "vscode"]
    cmd = code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE

Save .gitconfig, and in vscode, type git commit it will open an empty file to write the commit message.

When closing the file, the message is the commit message.
