I have my own notes here: https://www.aizatto.com/engineering-code/commit-messages

I think what I really like Angular's Commit Message Guidelines that suggest you include a "type" (build, docs, feature, fix, refactor) prefix into the commit message to help organize at a quick glance what the commit does.

Here are some other resources

I can see the value in gerrit's suggestion of including the component name in the header. I'm not sure I see the value in adding the commit type. Where do you see it as useful?
