Git Commit Plugin For VS Code

Automatically generate git commit messages

Requirements

VS Code 1.42.0 or higher.
VS Code's built-in Git plugin

Format

This extension follows the Angular Team Commit Specification, as follows:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

See info on the fields below.

Type

Must be one of the following:

Type	Description
feat	A new feature
fix	A bug fix
docs	Documentation only changes
style:	Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
refactor	A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
perf	A code change that improves performance
test	Adding missing or correcting existing tests
chore	Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation

Scope

The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. For example $location, $browser, $compile, $rootScope, ngHref, ngClick, ngView, etc...

You can use * when the change affects more than a single scope.

Subject

The subject contains succinct description of the change:

use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
don't capitalize first letter
no dot (.) at the end

Body

Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.

Footer

The footer should contain any information about Breaking Changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit closes.

Breaking Changes should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE: with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.

A detailed explanation can be found in this document.
