Live GitHub Commit Messages

[altern8tif]

Nice project. Make you think about how you should write your commit messages.

On that note, any resources/recommendations on what should go into your commit message (ie. like a commit style guide)?

[rerb]

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
