For me it's about how fast I can read though a list of commits and get a sense for what happened. A uniform prefix really helps if you need to write release notes, for example. Check out: https://github.com/Netflix/pollyjs/commits/master https://github.com/Netflix/pollyjs/commits/master Here I can quickly tell which commits are features or bug fixes, even if the rest of the message is slow/hard to parse. Versus: https://github.com/openai/whisper/commits/main https://github.com/openai/whisper/commits/main I sometimes need to parse a couple words before I can figure it out. The emoji on the repo look quite varied, which is fun, but I think stricter use could be productive.
