That's actually what I expected this to be before clicking the link. Oh well, one can hope.

Sometimes in a git project there are self explanatory changes that may not require a commit message (ex 'Update README.md'). 'cmt' it's not a replacement for the normal git commit workflow it's just an extra tool that should not be abused but it may result useful when your push doesn't need any special explanation. Here you can see some examples of git commit messages on real world applications that might have been replaced by a 'cmt' commit: - backbone https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/commit/49123e9ab1d2ef5b20ce57d2829c37659e7ed8b7 https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/commit/49123e9ab1d2ef5...

  I actually still disagree that those [cute comments] should be replaced by [machine-generated] cute quotes. If one has trouble expressing what is really going on, then she should think harder and/or consult a dictionary/thesaurus/etc until she can compose a message that is truly descriptive. I could do so for the messages above but it's a rather pointless exercise at this point. [Also, one should use 'git rebase -i' for squashing fixups]. Whatever the case, the point still remains that a semantically-aware comment generator would be far better than both of these options.

    Maybe I can enhance the script. What do you mean with "semantically aware" comments? Could you provide an example? Thanks
