You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

You cannot enable global-git-commit-mode if Emacs doesn't know where it is defined. That's why I provided a "convolved" explanation, which also explains how to tell Emacs about the package/library (by calling package-initialize).

You also should not call a minor-mode with t as argument. To turn on the mode no argument is required. In older Emacsen the argument was required, and one usually used 1 (one), not t. t appears to work as you intend for this particular mode, but there most certainly are modes which would fail with that argument.
