  2. Determine whether an MTV Jira issue applies. Ask the user for the MTV issue number if not already known.

  5. Commit using a HEREDOC so the multi-line message is preserved.

Template A — With MTV Issue

Use when an MTV-xxx Jira issue is associated with the change.

Explain why this change is needed. Focus on intent, not mechanics.

Resolves: MTV-xxx
Ref: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MTV-xxx

Co-authored-by: AI Assistant <ai-assistant@noreply.redhat.com>

Signed-off-by: {name} <{email}>
  • The title line is: MTV-xxx | short description (imperative mood, lowercase after the pipe).
  • The body paragraph explains why, not what.
  • Resolves and Ref reference the same MTV issue.
  • Omit the Co-authored-by line if AI was not a co-author.

Template B — Without MTV Issue

Use for housekeeping work that has no Jira ticket (docs cleanup, CI tweaks, dependency bumps, etc.).

chore(type): short description of the change

Explain why this change is needed.

Resolves: none

Co-authored-by: AI Assistant <ai-assistant@noreply.redhat.com>
