I found this in my git global configuration file ~/.gitconfig
...
[commit]
template = {my user root folder}/.stCommitMsg
I have no idea what is the usage, and also there was no file in this name in my user root folder!
Does any one knows how it works? and is it possible to have a template for git commits?!

How to do a git config global edit? The global git config is simply a text file, so it can be edited with whatever text editor you choose. Open, edit global git config, save and close, and the changes will take effect the next time you issue a git command. It's that easy.
The st in .stCommitMsg more than likely stands for SourceTree.
