Commit messages

Write a one-line subject that names the change and its local area.

Build the subject

1. Inspect the staged change with git diff --cached --stat and git diff --cached. If no change is staged, inspect the change that the user wants to commit.

2. Read the repository instructions and recent subjects:

   git log --no-merges --format=%s -30
   

3. Match the repository vocabulary. Use this form by default:

   <type>(<scope>): <summary>
