What are the best practices for writing effective commit messages?

I’m new to collaborating on GitHub and want to improve my commit messages.
I’ve read that clear and concise commit messages are crucial for teamwork, but I’m not sure where to start.

Best Practices for Commit Messages:

1. Follow a structure:
   • Short summary (50 characters max)

2. Be specific:
   • Bad: "Fix issue" • Good: "Fix crash on login page"

3. Use prefixes:
   • feat: for features, fix: for bugs, docs: for documentation
