    I’m definitely writing useless git commit messages

    For work, I at least include the Jira ticket id

    For personal stuff, it’s sweeping features stuffed into one commit that barely describes what was changed

      What was the git flag to basically rewrite history again?

      I’ve definitely been guilty of this, but if I can redo my changes in narrative form before I push I bet I won’t have to.

      Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.

        Looking at the website, Conventional Commits seems a little verbose for ny tastes but it probably helps actually communicate the changes so everyone is on the same page. Thanks for the tip!
