I recently had a discussion with a coworker about commit messages. And I wonder what guidelines developers prefer.
Past tense example (Django):
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/internals/contributing/committing-code/#committing-guidelines
Imperative example:
https://github.com/RomuloOliveira/commit-messages-guide/blob/master/README.md#good-practices
Conventional/Semantic:
https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
and
https://gist.github.com/joshbuchea/6f47e86d2510bce28f8e7f42ae84c716
Maybe other styles?
