This may seem crazy short, but you’ll find that forcing yourself to summarise the commit encourages you to be atomic and concise. If you can’t summarise it in 50 to 80 characters, you’re probably trying to commit two commits as one. For a more thorough explanation, please read Tim Pope’s excellent blog post, [A Note About Git Commit Messages](https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).

The preferred commit message format for simple version updates is `foobar 7.3` and for fixes is `foobar: fix flibble matrix.`.
The preferred commit message format for simple version updates is `foobar 7.3` and for fixes is `foobar: fix flibble matrix.`. Please squash your commits into one with this message format, otherwise your PR will be replaced by our autosquash workflow.

Ensure you reference any relevant GitHub issue, e.g. `Closes #12345` in the commit message. Homebrew’s history is the first thing future contributors will look to when trying to understand the current state of formulae they’re interested in.
