You can also do git commit -m "head" -m "body"

"4171250 fix shit" felt this deep in my bones

[LFHiden]

I like "fix stuff", "fix more stuff", "'commit stuff"

I my PRs become one commit after completing them

[tywenkelly]

Conventional commits are even more clear. I.e. “feat: add home button” or “fix(homepage): proper button redirect”

[jesprotech]

I think you are missing starting with the issue number because platforms like JIRA need the issue number to associate the commit with stories.

[euden_yt]

I usually describe the commit itself: “Adds support for x” ”Fixes bug X” “Removes X”

[Zack_Taylor]

Not that it's super important, but the style is to capitalize the first letter in the message

[bobDotJS]

This is actually a fire tip. I never even thought of doing this somehow

[wrux]

Commits should always explain what was changed or fixed. I've looked back at commit changes on a confusing line of code so many times and thanked my past self

[hanscesa]

Genuine question. Why always start with present tense of verb? e.g.,

feat(something): implement something

v.s.

feat(something): implemented something

I always find the latter easy to understand since the commit message means someone 'implemented something' in this commit.

My coworkers gave me a script that is fairly useful. The commits will look like

fix(“scope”): header
Body

[hudskn]

Waste of time. No one will ever read the details

[waltershowalter]

Did not know about git log --oneline. Imperative grammar seems less beneficial at first glance.

[crazystve]

You can also achieve this with git commit, and it will bring up your selected editor

[Rapid-eraser]

I think referring commit message using passive voice in past tense makes more sense to me

[ashuzon]

Helpful. Although, I started using better-commits.

I'll take the tip to my grave! 😂

If you feel it's so long you need AI to create filler, just don't do it. A one liner is fine because the actual code change matters more than your thoughts on it.

Life is becoming like anime, where most of it is AI filler.

[grae]

woah. this is so helpful for my future self! ✨

[zeaLZack]

Use convential commits, they way better

[herrquh]

I'll stick with "fix" tyvm.
