-**Notes**
+### **Text-only commits**
+If you are **only** making a change to text files (e.g. the changelog), please put `[ci skip]` as the body of the commit message. This tells the continuous integration systems not to process the commit - CI isn't needed for changes that don't touch the code.
+
+### **Notes**
 * A commit message should say what the change **includes** and **why**.
 * The summary should start with a verb in the present tense (e.g. Add, change, fix etc.).
-* If the first line of commit message is over 72 characters, GitHub's UI will fold it.
+* If the first line of commit message is over 72 characters, GitHub's UI will fold it. Please keep the first line below this limit.
 * There has to be one line of space between the topic (first line) and body of commitmsg
 * If you cannot fit the description and your commit is large, consider splitting it into smaller chunks.
