Here is how i write commit messages

I have a default template for commit messages.

It goes like a tag, followed by: and a bit of a summary about the commit message.

tag: a one-liner summary about the commit

Tags are mostly,

• FIX: for a bug fix

• FEATURE: if you are working on a feature

• IMPROVEMENT: if you improve something

• ISSUE: working on an issue

• REFACTOR: refactoring the code
