This is super cool, but I also really hope people I work with don’t use it much since I rely on commit messages to tell me the “why” and other high level questions on the whole diff that don’t fit into local comments above a single line. If it is simple enough to be self evident it’s simple enough to include 1-2 words and not risk hallucinating a red herring IMO
- nicolaslem 4y agoThis, the "what" in a commit message is close to useless, the "why" is what matters. Unfortunately developers really don't need another excuse to skip the "why" so I hope this tool doesn't get any traction.

- LorenDB 4y agoHey, at least it doesn't put "feat:" or "<bug emoji>" at the front of the commit message!
- rhacker 4y agoOh man that was a horrible time, when you get a project where dotting each file with a different emoji in github was some kind of work of art more important than the project itself.
