Git commit messages

Please try to…

• have a subject line and a body for your commit message
• Limit the subject line to 50 characters
• Do not end the subject line with a period
• Phrase the subject line imperatively
• Describe the fix, not the issue
• Wrap the body at around 72-80 chars

This article wraps it up pretty well: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
