A good commit message enables us:
- To understand what the contributor is trying to do
- Automatically generates change log
# (If applied, this commit will...) <subject> (Max 72 characters)
# |<---- Using a Maximum Of 72 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
# Use issues and merge requests' full URLs instead of short references,
# as they are displayed as plain text outside of GitLab
# --- COMMIT END ---
# --------------------
# Remember to
# Capitalize the subject line
# Use the imperative mood in the subject line
# Do not end the subject line with a period
# Subject must contain at least 3 words
# Separate subject from body with a blank line
# Commits that change 30 or more lines across at least 3 files should
# describe these changes in the commit body
# Do not use Emojis
# Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
# Can use multiple lines with "-" for bullet points in body
