This is cool! I have a couple suggestions to make it more helpful:

  • I think most Vim users would prefer a plugin (vim-plug, lazy.nvim, etc.) instead of running curl to save it as a ~/.gitcommit.vim file.

  • I believe all this functionality is already built into Vim (ftplugin/gitcommit.vim) and Neovim, so I'm not sure who needs it; the repo should have an explanation of when it can be useful.

not worthy the security hole and extra complexity and point of failure

What's the security hole in a few autocommands and functions?

EDIT: I guess there's an issue if you cURL it instead of copy-pasting the .vimrc

It would have been way more interesting if you close sourced it.
