Rules
- Always prefix the commit message with exactly one primary emoji
- No conventional commit type prefix — use
🐛 Fix bugnotfix: 🐛 Fix bug - Capitalize the first word after the emoji
- No period at the end of the subject line
- Keep it short — subject line under 72 characters
- Pick the most specific emoji that applies (e.g.
💄for a pure CSS change, not✨)
