Here is a simple solution. Use the `.gitmessage` template provided in this repository to nudge your colleagues \n(and yourself) into writing better commit messages like \n\n---\n:bug: Fix bug in data loader causing an IndexError.\n\n---\n:recycle: Refactor database integration.\n\n---\n:scissors: Removed old routing logic.\n\n---\n\n## How do I use this? :computer:\n\nIf you want to set this commit template **globally**, clone the repo or download the `.gitmessage` file and run \n\n    git config commit.template /absolute/path/to/file\n    \nIf you want to set this commit template **for a single repository**, run \n\n    git config commit.template relative-path-from-repository-root\n    \nWhen working on your project, just call the usual\n\n    git commit \n    \nand the template pops up. Don't worry, every line starting with `#` is a comment and will not be visible.\n\n## Credit where credit is due :clap:\n\nThis particular template was created in collaboration with [@dieuwkehupkes](https://github.com/dieuwkehupkes) and [@jumelet](https://github.com/jumelet) on [this](https://github.com/dieuwkehupkes/diagnosing_lms)\nproject. \n\nThe emoji system is loosely adapted from [@dannfritz](https://github.com/dannyfritz)'s system, which can be found [here](https://github.com/dannyfritz/commit-message-emoji).\n\nInstructions on how to set the template was found on [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21998728/how-to-specify-a-git-commit-message-template-for-a-repository-in-a-file-at-a-rel)\nStackOverflow question. \n\nA complete list of emojis that are supported by GitHub can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkaleidophon%2Fcommit-template-for-humans","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkaleidophon%2Fcommit-template-for-humans","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkaleidophon%2Fcommit-template-for-humans/lists"}
