Git Commit Message Template: Standardizing Team Collaboration Submission Norms

2025-12-08 43 views git Git Commit Specifications Conventional Commits Teamwork Submission Template Code Specification

### Why Unified Commit Specification is Needed? A unified commit specification addresses issues like difficult code reviews, chaotic version iterations, and failed automation tools. It ensures clarity on the purpose and content of each change, facilitating team collaboration. ### Specification Format (Conventional Commits) - **Type** (Required): E.g., `feat` (new feature), `fix` (bug fix), `docs` (documentation). Incorrect types mislead version management. - **Description** (Required): Concise (≤50 characters), verb-starting (e.g., "optimize", "fix"), avoiding ambiguity. - **Body** (Optional): After a blank line, detail the reason for the change, implementation details, or problem-solving process. - **Footer** (Optional): Link to issues (e.g., `Closes #123`) or note breaking changes. ### How to Create a Commit Template? - **Global Template**: Create `.gitmessage` in the user’s root directory and configure Git with `git config --global commit.template ~/.gitmessage`. - **Project-level Template**: Create `.gitmessage` in the project root and run `git config commit.template .gitmessage`. ### Tool Assistance for Enforcing the Specification - **Commit

Git Commit Message Specification: 3 Benefits of Standardizing Commit Messages

2025-12-08 36 views git Git Commit Specifications Commit Message Specification Version Control Teamwork Change Log Generation

This article introduces the importance of standardizing commit messages, which has three benefits: first, it ensures clear version history; standardized descriptions (e.g., "fix: resolve login password prompt issue") enable quick location of changes and avoid inefficient debugging caused by ambiguous wording. Second, it facilitates smooth team collaboration; a unified format (e.g., "feat: add registration form validation") clarifies the purpose of each commit and reduces communication costs. Third, it simplifies the automatic generation of change logs; tools can categorize and count commits based on standardized information (e.g., "feat" and "fix") to produce clear version update records (e.g., generating CHANGELOG with standard-version), thereby improving release efficiency. Although standardizing commit messages requires developing a habit, it leads to more efficient version management, collaboration, and release in the long run.

Git Commit Specification: Format and Examples of Angular-Style Commit Messages

Standardizing Git commit messages is crucial for collaborative projects, enhancing team efficiency and issue traceability. The Angular style is a widely adopted specification, divided into three parts: **Header (Mandatory):** Follows the format `type(scope?): subject`. The `type` includes 8 categories such as `feat` (new feature) and `fix` (bug fix); `scope` is optional (e.g., `login` module); `subject` uses the imperative mood (e.g., `Add`), has a maximum length of 50 characters, and ends without a period. **Body (Optional):** Provides supplementary details about the changes, explaining "why" and "how" the changes were implemented. Separated from the Header by a blank line, with concise multi-line descriptions. **Footer (Optional):** Marks breaking changes (`BREAKING CHANGE:`) or closes issues (`Closes #123`). Separated from the Body by a blank line. Recommended tools include Commitizen (interactive generation) and commitlint (validation). Key considerations: standardized `type`, concise `subject`, and clear `Footer` for breaking changes. Standardized commit messages simplify collaboration and version management.
