I only provided a hint for how to actually change commit message. I think the best place to know how to write correct commit messages should be the repository contributing guidelines.

This looks great! 🎉 So glad you've found a way to help users correct their commit messages.

The only note I would give you is to also link to the repository's contributing guidelines, if possible. You can use the API to check if they have one, in the root of the repo or in the .github folder. That is, if you've enabled the "Read repo contents" permission - if you haven't, that's fine, it's just a nice touch :P

Also, you might as well use that footer message to point them to the app's repo; if people need to, they can learn a bit more about why its doing what its doing.

Thanks @JasonEtco for the quick response 👍

Isn't the footer message actually points to the app's repo?

Yep! But I meant you could say something like:

Oh, that looks shorter and awesome ❤️

@ahmed-taj cool! Also note that the second link points to /issues, just to be a little more specific ✨

I don't have Read repo contents permission enabled, so I will skip linking to the repository contributing guidelines for now ;)
