 Zed monitors your repository so that changes you make on the command line are instantly reflected.
 
+### Configuration
+
+You can configure how Zed hard wraps commit messages with the `preferred-line-length` setting of the "Git Commit" language. The default is `72`, but it can be set to any number of characters `0` or more.
+
+The Git Panel also allows configuring the `soft_wrap` setting to adjust how commit messages display while you are typing them in the Git Panel. The default setting is `editor_width`, however, `none`, `preferred_line_length`, and `bounded` are also options.

+#### Example

+```json
+"languages": {
+  "Git Commit": {
+    "soft_wrap": "editor_width",
+    "preferred_line_length": 72
+  },

 ## Stashing
 
 Git stash allows you to temporarily save your uncommitted changes and revert your working directory to a clean state. This is particularly useful when you need to quickly switch branches or pull updates without committing incomplete work.
