After seeing people use the @jetbrains UI to commit to git I understand where all those - sorry: shitty - commit messages come from…
🙈
An improvement would already be to have a “Subject” line and the text box.
And have the subject line follow the Beams Rule.
Sonthat the first line of the commit message finishes the sentence
“When this commit is applied it will…”
And please: No longer than 56(?) characters (Unicode). Keep it short. You got the textbox to explain *why* in full length.
@clovis
Whether the users then use conventional commits, beams rule, opensavvy, whatever else they want is a completely different question.
And I am absolutely with you that Jetbrains should not favour one over the other.
