Style Guides for Git Commit Messages:memo:

Here's a list of some good to have points, that can add more value to your contribution logs.

• Use the present tense (example: "Add feature" and not "Added feature")
• Use the imperative mood (example: "Move item to...", instead of "Moves item to...")
• Limit the first line (also called subject line) to 50 characters or less
• Capitalize the subject line
• Separate subject from body with a blank line
• Do not end the subject line with a period
• Wrap the body at 72 characters
• Use the body to explain what, why, vs, and how
• Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the first line
