By name: commit description: Write git commit messages. Use when asked to commit, write a commit message, or stage and commit changes.
Git Commit Messages
Write commit messages following these rules:
- Subject line: Start with a capitalized imperative verb. ~50 chars max.
- Blank line between subject and body (if body exists).
- Imperative mood: "Add", "Fix", "Update" — not "Added", "Fixed", "Updated".
- Body (optional): Explain what and why, not how. Wrap at 72 chars.
- Bullet points for multiple changes in the body.
- Reference issues/PRs when relevant:
