feat(git): add a template for commit messages

In order to write good commit message, having a reminder of how to write
them is useful. This template provides some guidance to categorize the
change and how to phrase the description.

1 files changed, 22 insertions, 0 deletions

+# --- COMMIT END ---
+# Remember to
+#    Use the imperative mood, present tense: `change' not `changed' nor `changes'
+#    Do not end the subject line with a period
+#    Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
+#    Can use multiple lines with "-" for bullet points in body
