I wish version control CLIs had a "write commit message with diff below" option.
Yeah, sure, the list of modified files is helpful. But sometimes I've made multiple edits and it would be helpful to have the full diff available so that I can write a better summary!
(I should probably just have another tmux 'tab' and switch between the two… but I generally only keep one tab per folder most of the time!)

@ibboard@hachyderm.io This is one of the things I love about writing my commit messages in Magit in GNU Emacs; magit shows a second pane with all of the changes I'm committing. I find it fairly twitch-inducing to commit without seeing my diffs outside of simple situations.
