Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Developers may have custom git commit flags as their desired default
Say I have a custom git commit alias that I created locally, such as git commit-with-flags.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think there should be a setting in source control to either:
- change the Commit behavior to always runs the specified alias command
and/or - a setting where the developer can add an aliased commit command(s) to the commit dropdown menu.
Describe alternatives you've considered
workaround would be to use command line commit every time
