Change format of Merge commit message

[wout]

We’re using conventional commits for commit messages. Currently, merge messages are formatted like this:

Merge branch 'name-of-feature-branch' into target-branch

Is there a way to configure the message so that it starts lower case and has a colon after the word “merge”?

merge: branch 'name-of-feature-branch' into target-branch

I’m not aware of a way to change Sublime Merge’s behavior here. However, I would imagine this is something a plugin could handle once the API is ready.

Ok, thanks. I’ll have to look into writing a plugin then.

Note that currently there is no Plugin API for Sublime Merge. It’s on their roadmap though.
