Hello all, we are using different styles for commit messages. It would be good to have a short discussion on how we think they should be and agree all on how to write the subject line.
Here are few points from me: - Good commit messages are important to understand what happened in the project and motivate to produce well thought through commits - In git we have a subject line, first line in the commit message, should be around 50 chars, GH cuts after 72 chars and knows this convention - Subject line is usually written in imperative (git convention) - Capitalize the first word (like in a new sentence) - Commit message should contain the issue symbol Open questions: - Should the issue symbol be in the subject line? Or in the body? - Everyone fine with writing subject line in imperative? Here is an interesting article about it: http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/ Jörn
