How to use external editor when git.autoCommit is set true?

[jjazzer]

The git.commitMessageTemplate uses the prompt string, and removing the option does the auto-commit immediately.

I have the following config:

[git]
  autoCommit = true
  commitMessageTemplate = "{{ promptString \"Commit message\" }}"

How do I set it to use an external command, or what my git config uses, to edit the commit message?

I can't find documentation about this. Or I might have overlooked something.

There's currently no way to do this with autoCommit. Instead, you can set autoAdd to true (instead of autoCommit) and then run chezmoi git commit.

Alright. Copy that.

On second thought, I should use a shell alias instead!
