Commit Messages

  • Write your commit message in the imperative present tense: Use "Fix bug" and not "Fixed bug" or "Fixes bug." This convention matches up with commit messages generated by commands like git merge and git revert. It should start with a verb like "Fix", "Add" or "Change".
  • Commit message should contain a title and an optional body.
  • The title of the commit message should be a capitalized, short (50 chars or less) summary, not ending with a period.
  • The title can be followed by the body, an explanatory text, if necessary. Title and body are separated by an empty line. The blank line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run the two together.
  • The body should be wrapped to 72 characters.  The body can contain multiple paragraphs, containing plain text or bullet points. The bullet points should be typed as a hyphen or asterisk with blank lines in between. Use a hanging indent for longer bullet points
  • Make white-space changes separately
