No "imperative" commit message mode #6

Closed Gaibhne closed 1 year ago

Gaibhne commented 1 year ago

Really by default, commit messages should appear in the imperative: instead of "Added logging", the subject should read "Add logging". See:

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-write-better-git-commit-messages/ https://cbea.ms/git-commit/ https://reflectoring.io/meaningful-commit-messages/ https://www.gitkraken.com/learn/git/best-practices/git-commit-message

And many similar. The -c flag seems to already do that (unless it happened randomly during my tests), but many (most ?) people use simple, capitalized imperative subjects outside of conventional commits - basically, like the existing default, but with the imperative mood.

Could be a new mode, a flag, or simply a change to the default behaviour.

Otherwise: wow, this is so neat! Thank you!

Nice idea. I'll try to add it on the next weekend.

Something that many companies use to track commits related to a Jira ticket would also be helpful. For example our commit message look like,

APT-1234: Commit message

Here is APT-1234 is the ticket number.

Fixed in 2.0.0 by https://github.com/RomanHotsiy/commitgpt/pull/27 by introducing the template.
