Commit comments are how you find code diffs.
Focus on what/why in your commit messages.
If you can’t articulate that in your commit messages, I can almost guarantee you’re thinking deeply enough about your code changes.
- wruza 3y agoI appreciate advices, but I believe this one is not on point I expressed, as it only reiterates on a premise that I follow already but find mostly useless irl.
- catiopatio 3y agoI’ve been writing software for 30 years, and have often worked on OS code bases with revision history that extends back to the 1970s. Your style of commit message is a crime against the future. It makes it impossible for a future developer to understand why you did something or what you were thinking.
