# Write your commit message in the imperative: "Fix bug" instead of
# "Fixed bug" or "Fixes bug."
#
# Explain the problem that this commit is solving. Focus on why you
# are making this change as opposed to how (the code explains that).
# Are there side effects or other unintuitive consequences of this
# change? Here's the place to explain them.
#
# - Bullet points are okay, too
#
# - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, followed by a
# single space, with blank lines in between unless it's a list
#
# If you use an issue tracker, put references to them at the bottom,
# like this:
# Resolves: #123
# See also: #456, #789
#
# https://cbea.ms/git-commit/
# All lines starting with the pound symbol will be discarded
