Feature Enhancement Request: Support Customizable Git Commit Formats

[1Ckpwee]

Background

Cursor currently supports generating git commit messages based on code changes. While this is a helpful feature, the automatically generated commit messages often do not align with specific commit conventions or formats used in different projects or organizations.

Feature Request

Provide a configuration option that allows users to define their preferred git commit format. This feature would enable teams to enforce consistency in commit messages and better integrate Cursor with their existing development workflows.

Proposed Solution

• Introduce a configuration file (e.g., .cursor-config) or UI option where users can specify their desired commit format.
• Support placeholders (e.g., {type}, {scope}, {description}) to structure the commit message, inspired by widely used conventions like Conventional Commits.
• Allow users to define default values for placeholders or prompts for missing information during the commit generation process.
• Provide a preview option for the generated commit message before finalizing it.

Example

A possible configuration might look like:

{
  "commitFormat": "{type}({scope}): {description}",
  "types": ["feat", "fix", "docs", "chore", "refactor"],
  "defaultScope": "general"
}
