Commit message convention

[PeterDaveHello]

Can we follow https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/ to unify the commit message style?

It'll be good to follow a styling guide, just like coding style.

What about something like https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/DEVELOPERS.md#-git-commit-guidelines?

Not sure if the angular.js style would be too strict? I prefer try to follow the simple 7 rules, but still open to have a try with angular style if it's voted by more members.

It is more strict and possible to verify on CI (commitlint etc). The more convention based approach in your linked post is harder to enforce. Might not be wanted, though 🙂
