Rules
- Always prefix the commit message with exactly one primary emoji
- No conventional commit type prefix — use
🐛 Fix bug not fix: 🐛 Fix bug
- Capitalize the first word after the emoji
- No period at the end of the subject line
- Keep it short — subject line under 72 characters
- Pick the most specific emoji that applies (e.g.
💄 for a pure CSS change, not ✨)
