The post discusses the benefits and process of using a Git commit template, inspired by the Conventional Commits specification. A Git commit template helps to ensure consistency and build good habits in commit messages. The process involves creating a template file and configuring Git to use it, which can be done across various platforms like macOS, Linux, and Windows. This functionality is available directly from the terminal, although it can also be found in graphical Git clients like Tower.

# Leave a blank line between title and body
# BODY
# Wrap at 72 chars ################################ 72 chars is here: #
