Yeah, I have shortcuts for basically everything, and I would rather leave the code than add literal junk into my commit history.
Like sure, it would make sense if there was no other way like a public repo where I have no access to the run button, but when I do, I will do it properly, which when I do, is not not push junk into my commit history.
Agreed 1000% with you Ben. The only person who has worked in that environment can understand the importance.
Also, about the UI, on projects with hundreds of maintainers, don't give direct access to CI or third-party buttons/mutual triggers. Bots are used to merge the PRs and empty commit is the only way to re-run those.
Hi, I'm Giuliano and I'm a full stack web developer based in Rome. I love playing around with code trying out new things. I love to share knowledge and get into inspiring conversations.
I agree with Ben too! It actually happens to add a space just to be able to create a new commit and re-run certain processe that are not necessarely easy to get started in different ways.
I still wouldn't abuse empty commits, but they appear to be further more useful of what they seemed at first sight
