    Given that it is high level, I assume you did not want to include this. I’ll mention it here in a comment either way. Text form in the commit message.

    I really like using conventional commit messages and introduced it in my projects. We defined a few types, and more leniently choose optional scopes. It’s very useful for categorizing and skimming through commit lists, and for generating changelogs/release notes. `fix(account): Use correct hasing xy"

    Consistent imperative form is important to me too. The commit message examples talks about “Summary of changes”, which has no verb, and so, may mislead to a different undesirable form of summarizing changes. (“Change xy” instead of “changed xy” or “[now] does xy [at runtime]” or “did z”.)

    I didn’t fully read it, only skimmed, so excuse me if I missed mentions of the commit message text form. It seems very elaborate otherwise.
