rename commit with editor without commit hook

[tg0h]

hello,

I want to rename a commit with my editor without firing the commit hooks in my repo.

currently, you can reword the commit in your editor with R in the commits panel but this fires the commit hook.

I guess I need something like a custom command that calls 'git commit --allow-empty --amend --no-verify' and opens the editor in lazygit. Is this possible?

Same I need to allow-empty commits because my organizations uses this commits to trigger CI

I'm trying something like this out mikavilpas/dotfiles@43a59c0

disclaimer: just tried it out once, so not much real world testing on this one yet 😄
