Currently, we do not have a standard for git message guidelines, so the commit logs may look a little untidy [1].
A very popular commit guideline is from Angular.js [2], which I think is very nice only that it includes issue number at the footer. For example, with Angular.js's commit guideline, a commit message may be: fix(svg): change the default behavior of download image with toolbox fix #12345 I think putting the issue number at the end of the subject may be a better idea. Because if the issue number is not included in the first line, it will only be visible when "..." is clicked. Issue number, and more importantly, the link to the issue is a very important part of a git message. [image: commit message.png] My suggest is, to follow the Angular.js git message guidelines, and change about the issue number part, making it something like: fix(svg): change the default behavior of download image with toolbox; fix #12345 [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/commits/master [2] https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/DEVELOPERS.md#-git-commit-guidelines Wenli
