Use multiple "-m" parameters in your git commit.

    git commit -m "feat: script pretty print" -m "added variables for bold, normal, and a nice blue arrow"
becomes:

    feat: script pretty print
    
    added variables for bold, normal, and a nice blue arrow
In your git log output. Use extra "-m" sections for stuff like ticket references, or other relevant information like a link to a design document.

Alternatively just avoid the `-m` flag and open the message in `$EDITOR`

But then I have to figure out how to exit vim.
