Jonathan AdminThanks so much for your feedback. There are no plans to support conventional commits right now, but we will reconsider if the standard gains wider adoption.
For now, it looks like you may be able to get some of this functionality through a commit-msg git hook.

JJTech0130Amazing addition, but I understand that Conventional Commits is not yet widespread, so it probably won't be implemented.

HansAt least an interface or plugin of https://commitlint.js.org/#/ would be nice, because it will at least allow to follow own conventions for git-commits.

HansAt the time when the feature request was rejected, conventional commits were in beta phase. This has recently changed. https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
Next, with conventional-changelog (https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint), there exists already a nice linter, and it might be an option to build at least an interface like already has been done with pre-commit. However, this should be separated as well as checked so that also the main text of git commit follows the rules.
In summary, it would be nice if the gitkraken team takes a closer look again on this topic after ~2 years. -

Even if not implementing Conventional Commits directly, just exposing some sort of simple API that allows us to inject commit messages in a convenient way from the UI (e.g. by calling a script and using its output). -

DannyConsidering that Git Flow is a convention that GitKraken supports in an arguably opinionated way, and which is actually a selling point, I would propose that Conventional Commits (with Gitmojis?) could also become such a selling point!
It would definitely make it easier for me to pitch it to colleagues.
In the meantime, the VS Code extension "Conventional Commits" by vivaxy has moved me back towards VS Code's integrated git tooling, away from GitKraken, for like half of my git-related workflow. -

ArmandAt least give the developer a sort of quick option to select from a predefined commit template list and you could just tab your way through the commit message. That way whatever tomorrow's convention or flavor is dev's can configure this themselves.

Ivan ExpositoShouldn't this feature be a part instead of an improvement on Git Hooks, I don't thing GitKraken should implement it directly, instead they should provide a better integration with Git Hook, for logs and "hook pipeline visualization".

Dave Bonillas MergedIt would be amazing if you Commit with AI created conventional commits or allowed you to to customize the prefix.
