Roadmap — Git Commit Message Template
Project status and direction. Living document. Last updated: 2026-07-01
Legend
- ✅ Done
- 🚧 In progress
- 📋 Planned
- ⏸️ Deferred
Vision
Provide a clear Git commit message template in English, based on Conventional Commits, easy to adopt in any project.
Current status
- ✅
.gitmessagetemplate in English. - ✅ Full usage guide in the
README.md. - ✅ Community files (contributing, conduct, security, changelog).
Ideas / next steps
- 📋 One-command install script (
git config commit.template). - 📋 Additional commit examples (breaking changes, reverts, co-authorship).
- 📋 Optional integration with a
commit-msghook to validate the format.
Out of scope
- Heavy validation tooling or dependencies on a specific language: the project stays as documentation + a template file.
