git commit -m "I think I figured it out"
git commit -m "I didn't figured it out"
I would have also accepted:
git commit -m "This time I figured it out"
What does this do?
commit whatever changes you have and use one of the random messages from whatthecommit.com/
git commit -m "Genesis 1:1"
git commit -m "Let there be Light"
git commit -m "Let there be _____"
(insert your own)git commit -m "This is going to take more than 6 days"
love you already
git commit -m "Fixed it"
git commit -m "Fixed it for real this time"
git commit -m "Damn. Fixed"
git commit -m "Fix it for real"
git commit -m "Finally"
git commit -m "Build fails"
git commit -m "F**kin regex!"
🤣
git commit -t emptyfile
Then I write a proper commit message in the editor. Mostly.
Put a commit msg template in your repo instead emptyfile if you like that better. Add a bash alias.
Edit: ah, I missed the joke?
Oh wow I did not know that the
-t
option even existed. Do you know of any resources @bootcode that is similar to what your template workflow looks like?Happy it helps. No specific commenting workflow. Interestingly there are hits
out there about git comments, but they mostly cover formatting. That's nice
(and do read definitely), but the focus should be on content first, formatting
second. I can live with the title ending in a dot, sorry :)
What is more interesting is the content of the message. If we are limited to a single line (as with
-m
), too much interesting detail gets lost.The commit message should give context for the unfamiliar reader. Imagine someone searching for the cause of a bug, going through all changes made in a given interval. A good commit message can reveal if there's something relevant in there or not.
The message should include:
For example:
The commit message also acts as a test of the rationale. It happened to me multiple times that I took 2 hours writing a change, then while phrasing the rationale part of the commit message it dawned on me Ouch. Actually this is not the right approach for that purpose.
As for a general git usage model, I use the nvie model with content.

git commit -m "wip"
chore: initial commit
Conventional Commits
Initial commit, because sometimes I run out of opening lines
