How to write commit messages

On the programming team, it is very important to make sure that others know what changes you made every time you commit the code. So, make sure to use detailed commit messages, such as the one below. :)

Template

(Name) made changes to (edited class name) to complete (tasks). The next step of action for this is to (next tasks).

Example

Sonia Appasamy made changes to Chassis.java to complete the setRightSide method to set the right talons’ speed, and the setLeftSide method to set the left talons’ speed. The next step of action for this is to add a method to stop the talons.
