Writing commit messages

In the commit message, or somewhere else?

It’s OK, you don’t have to do all of this every time

i always write “forced to commit” hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good Article, but not reader friendly.

Old but gold. I’ve shared this with colleagues several times over the years, it’s a great article.

Reminds me of a commit I made once. A string of profanity, followed by “I really have to get better at committing more frequently.” I had been working on one feature and got handed a new feature/update or two in the middle of it, along with a few bugs to hunt down.

my favorite commits are “update” and “big update” 😄
