Instructions

<description>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.</description>

Workflow

Follow these steps:

  1. Run git status to review changed files.
  2. Run git diff or git diff --cached to inspect changes.
  3. Stage your changes with git add <file>.
  4. Construct your commit message using the following XML structure.
  5. After generating your commit message, Copilot will automatically run the following command in your integrated terminal (no confirmation needed):
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
  1. Just execute this prompt and Copilot will handle the commit for you in the terminal.
