=== Commit message
To simplify the creation of commit messages which are compliant with the
<<dev-contributing#commit-message,Commit Message>> format, do the following:
. Go to *File -> Settings -> Version Control*.
. Check *Commit message right margin (columns)*.
. Make sure that 72 is specified as value.
. Check *Wrap when typing reaches right margin*.
In addition, you should follow the instructions of
<<dev-contributing#git_commit_settings,this section>> (if you haven't
done so already):
* Install the Git hook for the `Change-Id` line.
* Set up the HTTP access.
Setting up the HTTP access will allow you to commit changes via IntelliJ without
specifying your credentials. The Git hook won't be noticeable during a commit
as it's executed after the commit dialog of IntelliJ was closed.
== Run configurations
Run configurations can be accessed on the toolbar. To edit them or add new ones,
choose *Edit Configurations* on the drop-down list of the run configurations
