Git Commit Helper

Create concise, high-signal commits that explain intent and scope.

Quick Start

  1. Summarize the change and split unrelated edits.
  2. Choose a conventional commit prefix if applicable.
  3. Write a short subject + optional body describing why.

Guardrails

  • One logical change per commit.
  • Avoid noisy “WIP” messages unless asked.
  • Mention user-visible impact when relevant.
