Instructions

Copy & paste — that's it
 This file contains a prompt template for generating conventional commit messages. It provides instructions, examples, and formatting guidelines to help users write standardized, descriptive commit messages in accordance with the Conventional Commits specification.

Workflow

Follow these steps:

  • Run git status to review changed files.

  • Run git diff or git diff --cached to inspect changes.

  • Stage your changes with git add <file>.

  • Construct your commit message using the following XML structure.

  • After generating your commit message, Copilot will automatically run the following command in your integrated terminal (no confirmation needed):

Copy & paste — that's it
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
  • Just execute this prompt and Copilot will handle the commit for you in the terminal.

Commit Message Structure

Copy & paste — that's it
 
 feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert 
 () 
 A short, imperative summary of the change 
 (optional: more detailed explanation) 
 (optional: e.g. BREAKING CHANGE: details, or issue references)

Examples

Copy & paste — that's it
 
 feat(parser): add ability to parse arrays 
 fix(ui): correct button alignment 
 docs: update README with usage instructions 
 refactor: improve performance of data processing 
 chore: update dependencies 
 feat!: send email on registration (BREAKING CHANGE: email service required)

Validation

Copy & paste — that's it
 
 Must be one of the allowed types. See https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification 
 Optional, but recommended for clarity. 
 Required. Use the imperative mood (e.g., "add", not "added"). 
 Optional. Use for additional context. 
 Use for breaking changes or issue references.

Final Step

Copy & paste — that's it
 
 git commit -m "type(scope): description" 
 Replace with your constructed message. Include body and footer if needed.
