For example `%`: [core] commentchar = % Looks like: git: temporary for demonstration % Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting % with '%' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. % % Date: Fri Mar 24 13:45:28 2023 +0100 % % On branch master % Your branch is ahead of '<remote branch>' by 57 commits. % (use "git push" to publish your local commits) % % Changes to be committed: % modified: config/.config/git/config % % Untracked files: % config/.config/git/gitk % That’s at least what I would do if I used leading `#` since it seems like less trouble than having to change `cleanup`.
