A Git commit template to make it easy to enforce a good and uniform commit message style across teams.
# <type>: (If applied, this commit will...) <subject> (Max 50 char)
# |<---- Using a Maximum Of 50 Characters ---->|
# Explain why this change is being made
# |<---- Try To Limit Each Line to a Maximum Of 72 Characters ---->|
# Provide links or keys to any relevant tickets, articles or other resources
# Example: Github issue #23
# --- COMMIT END ---
# Type can be
# feat (new feature)
# fix (bug fix)
# docs (changes to documentation)
# style (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no code change)
# refactor (refactoring production code)
# test (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
# chore (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change)
# --------------------
# Remember to
# Separate subject from body with a blank line
# Limit the subject line to 50 characters
# Capitalize the subject line
# Do not end the subject line with a period
# Use the imperative mood in the subject line
# Wrap the body at 72 characters
# Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
# Can use multiple lines with "-" for bullet points in body
