How do you enable this extension for git commit messages?

I tried add COMMIT_EDITMSG to cSpell.enableFiletypes but that didn't seem to work.

@hamirmahal,

It is always a bit of a mystery the name VS Code uses for a file type, and they change between releases of VS Code. To find out:

1. Open the file in question (.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in your case).

2. Hover over Spell on the status bar:
   

3. The hover message shows the reasons it is not spell checked. git-commit is the file type needed and you might need to edit your configuration if .git has been excluded in the ignorePaths.
