I can try adding you to our Version Control forum.
You can probably use ctrl‑A→ctrl‑C, but why? The whole idea of the version control program is that it records not only the state of your documents when you commit them, but also whatever description you wrote about the changes. So you can find all that information by going back through your history, and you can reload old versions of whatever you wrote. It is all saved in files wherever you decided to put them. So what is the point of your saving all that information to a separate file?
If you use a web‑based Git system, e.g. GitHub, GitLab, all the saving will be done for you and the web company will take care of your files.
