You may refer to this answer I gave on StackOverflow on commit messages: > > https://stackoverflow.com/a/60755299/10751129 I used 'git commit' only and not 'git commit -m "message". But apparently, the git format-patch tool takes the first line of commit message i.e. the commit title as the file name and the lines after that as the text for the body. And hence, the patch emails, just start with the commit description and not the commit title. So, should I explicitly add the commit title in the patch files generated or else how to handle this? > Also, commit messages are generally around 72 characters per line. What are the > style violations you are talking about BTW? The git coding guidelines says that we shouldn't have a space after the redirection operators, hence I corrected this in the test file.
