Commit message format

Commit messages follow this format:

{commit type}: #{issue ID} One line summary of the change

By: user1
By: user2

The By: lines credit everyone who contributed to the commit, using drupal.org usernames.

Commit types

Commit type	Title	Description
fix	Bug fix	A bug fix
feat	Feature	A new feature
ci	Continuous Integration	Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml changes)
docs	Documentation	Changes only to the documentation
perf	Performance improvements	A code change that improves performance
refactor	Code Refactoring	A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
test	Test-only changes	Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
task	Task	A code change that does not easily fit into any other category. For example, bumping the versions of dependencies in composer.lock, or a blend of refactor and docs, etc.
revert	Revert	Reverts a previous commit

This format is specific to LocalGov Drupal, so it differs a little from the Drupal core commit convention. For background on the core convention, see The format of the git commit message.
