doesn't this encourage the bad practice of doing large commits containing multiple things instead of independent and discrete changes?
i guess its still very useful if you are working somewhere where that bad practice is enforced.
- davegauer 11y agoIt could probably be abused in the way you describe. But I'm not sure it encourages it. I think it's a clever idea and seems like it could be handy even if you do nice, tidy commits.
- jheriko 11y agowell, it seems not very useful if you are doing a discrete piece of work because you have one short comment to make, not a list... maybe encourage is the wrong word, but it seems like a useless tool if you are doing things in (what i perceive to be) the right way.
- Zezima 11y agoAgreed. My motivation for making this was the complete lack of detail in my peers' commit messages. They had no problem writing a semi-descriptive commit title, but glossed over numerous (yet small) changes entirely. Ironically, this project I would not use myself! Mostly because I am in the practice of the Git workflow. My goal was to make something which was easy to use, and gets someone in the habit of thinking about/listing all changes in a commit. I certainly hope I'm not encouraging the bad behavior I'm trying to prevent!
- jheriko 11y agoi think encourage was the wrong word. i can still see it being useful, like i said. well done for making something and sharing it like this.
