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:

TypeDescription
featA new feature
fixA bug fix
docsDocumentation only changes
style:Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
refactorA code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
perfA code change that improves performance
testAdding missing or correcting existing tests
choreChanges 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.

Quick Start

  1. Install the plugin
  2. Use the command shortcut showGitCommit to open the command window or Click the icon on the git plugin navigation bar open
  3. Enter the commit information, which automatically generates a commit message that conforms to the specification edit
