Message Committer is a git hook that helps you create meaningful and organized commit messages. The message structure is based on the Angular Commit Messages Convention.
You can use on both Linux or Windows.
The easiest way to use it is moving the prepare-commit-msg (on Windows use prepare-commit-msg.exe) file located in the root of this project and move it to the .git/hooks directory of your desired project.
But you can also build it manually if you have go in your environment with go build -o prepare-commit-msg cmd/msgcommitter/msgcommitter.go. Then put the generated file in the .git/hooks directory of your desired project.
After moving the file, make your code changes, add the changes to stage and then call git commit. The terminal will ask for information about your changes, follow the descriptions. At the end, a file containing the generated and formatted message will be shown by git in a text editor. Examples:
doc(README): add instructions
Add more instructions about how to use msgcommitter.
Closes #001
Make your corrections to the message or quit the text editor.
To confirm the message was added to your commit history, your can use git log.
