Yes! This is exactly what I had it mind. It would require a lot of organisation but I think it could work really, really well if implemented like this. -----Original Message----- From: Junio C Hamano <jch2355@xxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Junio C Hamano Sent: Saturday, May 6, 2023 3:28 PM To: Teng Long <dyroneteng@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: erik@xxxxxxxxxxx; git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Shafiq Jetha <shafiq.jetha@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Suggestion to provide a way for screenshots to be added to commit messages [You don't often get email from gitster@xxxxxxxxx.

A project could choose to store its commit log message in some arbitrary binary format, encoded to be safe when displayed as text by accident (e.g. "Content-type: text/html" with quoted-printable, or something silly like that) when shown in plain vanilla "git log". Then repository viewers can be taught to render such a "rich" log message in any way it wants. I do not know if authors of "gitk" (bundled with us) or "tig" (not provided by us) are interested in doing so to their ware, but there are tons of GUI Clients out there (https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis) and authors of some of them may be enticed to add such a new feature ;-)
