While using the seven rules of a great Git commit message:
- Separate subject from body with a blank line
- Limit the subject line to 50 chareacters
- Capitalize the subject line
- Don't end the subject line with a period
- Use imperative mood in the subject line
- Wrap the body at 72 characters
- Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
Using the rule #1, #2 and #3, you can add an emoji to indentify what the message is about.
For Example:
📝 Server Response Documents
