Git Commit Message Format

Never leave todays’s work tomorrow.

1. Why need format

It will benefit ourselves and others.

2. Specific format

Let’s first see the abstract formula:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

example:

It is used to explain the type of this commit and can only be in the following 7 types:

• feat：add new function（feature）of your project.
• fix：fix bugs.
• docs：add documentation.
• style： just modify the style of code,it does’n affect the execution of code.
• refactor：neither feat nor fix,it may affect the execution of code.
• test：add test unit.
• chore：change of build tools or helper and enviroment.

scope

It is used to explain the scope of this commit,such as view layer,model layer,controller layer and so on.

subject

It is a short description of this commit and it can not be in excess of 50 character.

• start with verb and use first persion present tense,such as change instead of changes nor changed
• make sure the first character should be lower case

As you see,above tips of subject also follow it’s rules.
