keeping a clean commit log or even strong commit rules is something which I only see as barrier for improving existing code... just thinking of code improvements by PRs which got rejected by bigger projects because the commit history was not "clean enough". History is not always good or pretty in real life... it should be the same on git commits.
- joshschreuder 9y agoTo some extent I agree, enforcing it at a project level seems like bikeshedding and not necessarily that useful. On the other hand, like walking people through your house, it's nice to tidy up first to give people a good experience, and the same applies to walking through the history of your change too IMO
