> Use Valid MarkDown format in Message Body.
I like to keep Markdown away from my repos. After a while people get clever with their Markdown and it makes reading commit logs using command-line tools increasingly difficult. It also encourages writing things into commit logs that would be better suited for documentation.
Edit: apparently it's not a Github specific thing.
- jwilk 9y agoI don't believe GitHub renders commit messages as Markdown.
- avian 9y agoI tried and you're right. Did they disable that recently? Or is there a popular IDE that does render Markdown in commit messages? I had to ask a few people not to use Markdown and I just assumed it was a Github thing.
