I’ve been following this [Ignition guide](https://www.inductiveautomation.com/resources/article/ignition-8-deployment-best-practices) for setting up the designer to auto commit to git-hub on every save. This works well, aside from the fact that the commit message is set to whatever you code into the shell file. It would be nice if I could send a dynamic string containing a specific commit message that gives context.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to open a text dialogue box within the designer, so that when a user saves they can add a custom commit message each time? Or have any other recommendations besides manually changing the commit message in the shell script?

Thanks
