I've been using Git since the early 2010s and this feature was released in Aug 2019 (https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-23/ https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-23...).
You don't think I looked for it for the first 7-8 years of using Git at least a few times and came up empty? Seems a little uncharitable. Hacker News is a place to learn about stuff, not be chided for missing a point note in a release.
Come on man, you've been using HN for almost as long as I have. Be curious, treat people's comments with charity, continue the life-long learning tradition.

- js2 1y agoYou're right. My apologies. It wasn't meant as a critique. I've been using git even longer and my memory was that the feature had been there way before 2019. Time flies.

- keybored 1y agoThanks. Git (proj.) commits can be an enjoyable read.
- xiaoyu2006 1y agoI like how the length of the commit message is at the same order of magnitude as the commit itself.
