Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Yes. Most developers suggest that the commit message summary be no longer than 50 characters, and the description be limited to 72, even though the nature of git commits is 72 max for the commit title and inf for the description.
Describe the solution you'd like
While typing each of the message summary and description, if the live character count, like x/50 in the case of summary and x/72 in the case of description, is visible in the input box and gives a soft warning when someone exceeds the limit, still allowing the user to commit exceeding length message when required will be great. Adding a flair of redness, like how @twitter handles it for tweets will be pretty dope!
Describe alternatives you've considered
Sometimes when I need to be strict about the lengths, I type the text in an editor of choice, while keeping track of the character length, and copy paste it into the input box.
I prefer sticking to these conventions, the reason for conventional commits since it aids in better communication and DevX.
