Clear commit messages make it easier for your team to understand what changed. This guide helps you write standardized messages using a simple XML format. You get step by step instructions, examples, and validation rules to follow.
You start by checking your changes with git status and git diff. Then you build your message using a structured template with a type, scope, and description. The tool automatically runs the commit command for you.
This workflow is perfect for developers who want consistent commits. It follows the Conventional Commits specification. You will avoid common mistakes and keep your project history clean.
