JQuery Convention

Commit messages should describe what changed, and reference the issue number if the commit closes or is associated with a particular issue. Commit messages for all jQuery projects should look like this:

Component: Short Description

Optional Long Description

Fixes #xxx
Closes gh-yyy
Ref #zzz

Every commit must have a subject (the first line). Everything else is optional.

Subject

This is the first line. It consists of a component, like "Event" or "Autocomplete".

Long description

There are two line breaks between the subject and the long description. The description can have any length and formatting, like lists.

References

References to issues or pull requests go after the long description, each one on their own line.

Use Fixes when the commit fixes an open issue.
Use Closes when the commit closes an open pull request.
Use Ref when referencing an issue or pull request that is already closed or should remain open. Examples include partial fixes and commits that add a test but not a fix.
Always use "gh-xxx" for GitHub issues and pull requests within the same repository. Use "[user]/[repo]#xxx" when referencing an issue or pull request in another repository, e.g., "Closes jquery/jquery-ui#175".
