Some references including examples for good "Git commit messages"

Question

I need some references which include guidelines on having good git commit messages, its conventions and especially a few examples.

Answer 1

There isn't a definitive standard for git commit messages, but if anything is emerging to be one, it would be Conventional Commits.

With this convention, upgrading a dependency would probably be a chore, e.g.:

chore: Upgrade library XYZ to version 1.2.3

This upgrade solved CVE-2021-whatever discovered in the library.
If left unpatched, this vulnerability may allow attackers to bypass authentication in the
inventory update flow.
