Commit messages guide

It may help you to learn what a commit is, why it is important to write good messages, best practices and some tips to plan and (re)write a good commit history. This excellent article from Chris Beams gives us a simple sentence that can be used to help us write better commit messages in imperative form:

The reason that the first letter should be capitalized is to follow the grammar rule of using capital letters at the beginning of sentences.
