In my case I have commits that say "check server fingerprint" then "check server fingerprint but this time it works in production" and then "check server fingerprint but this time it ACTUALLY works in production" followed by "check server fingerprint works in dev and test what is actually happening here" and the final commit of "i hate everything about all of this". Of course that last unhelpful commit message is tied to the code that actually works in production so it's what sticks.
- usrusr 8y agoThe good news is that you apparently fixed it already at "I hate everything", which is still a number of commits before trying to recite the Macarena from memory. A good rule/guideline for commit messages should not only help us writing perfect messages when we would otherwise write merely good ones, but also scale down to encourage mediocre messages when we completely stopped caring.
