Git conventions

The seven rules of a great Git commit message

  1. Separate subject from body with a blank line.

  2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters.

  3. Capitalize the subject line.

  4. Do not end the subject line with a period.

  5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line.

  6. Wrap the body at 72 characters.

  7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how.
