You can add a longer message below the commit message for clarification.

for new packages,                use New package: <pkgname>-<version>\
for package updates,             use <pkgname>: update to <version>.\
for template modifications,      use <pkgname>: <reason>\
for package removals,            use <pkgname>: remove package\

pull request

Once the package lints and builds make your commit and then create a pull request.

When you make changes to your pull request, please do not close and reopen your pull request. Instead, just forcibly git push, overwriting any old commits. Closing and opening your pull requests repeatedly spams the Void maintainers.

force push

git add file
git commit --amend
git push -f
