My team uses a git commit message convention that helps us read fast and also is parsable by toolchains. We agree on a short list of leading active verbs: Add = Create a capability e.g. feature, test, dependency. Cut = Remove a capability e.g. feature, test, dependency. Fix = Fix an issue e.g. bug, typo, accident, misstatement. Bump = Increase the version of something e.g. dependency. Make = Change the build process,…
Feedback on this git commit message convention is welcome, and so are pull requests: https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/git_commit_message
Thank you for this!
