- iterance 2y agoFrankly the commit message is usually the important thing. I care about why a change happened. Give me a Jira ticket, or a line of reasoning, or some documentation. I need to know this far more often than I care who literally typed the code in the computer.
- globular-toast 2y agoYou also shouldn't assume the commit author is the same person who literally typed the code. Git is a version control system, not an audit trail.
