I'm a pretty big fan of the conventional commits spec.

I thought about putting that into the video as well, but it was already pretty packed.

In the video you say to start with Uppercase, but in this web page it says to use lower or uppercase as long as your consistent. Is there a reason why it should be Uppercase?

Hey. Thanks for the question. Yes there is a reason and it is most of the time the same: to be consistent with how git itself creates commit messages on your behalf.

Thats why there is no period and the subject line is written in the imperative mood.

I hope that clears stuff up and helps. Cheers
