+There are a number of conventions to writing Git commit messages. For a detailed explanation, see http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/. As a tl;dr, here are seven short rules:
+
+ 1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
+ 1. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
+ 1. Capitalize the subject line
+ 1. Do not end the subject line with a period
+ 1. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
+ 1. Wrap the body at 72 characters
+ 1. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
