| 135 | There are a number of conventions to writing Git commit messages. For a detailed explanation, see http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/. As a tl;dr, here are seven short rules: |
| 136 | |
| 137 | 1. Separate subject from body with a blank line |
| 138 | 1. Limit the subject line to 50 characters |
| 139 | 1. Capitalize the subject line |
| 140 | 1. Do not end the subject line with a period |
| 141 | 1. Use the imperative mood in the subject line |
| 142 | 1. Wrap the body at 72 characters |
| 143 | 1. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how |
