Why Even Bother?
Open one of your old repositories and type git log in the terminal. Chances are, you have no idea what you meant by update four months ago.
And no, commit messages like changes, a, or pls just work are not only unhelpful to you but also annoying for your teammates. Clear and informative commit messages make a big difference, especially in collaborative projects.
Use the imperative mood in subject lines (e.g., add german language). It should sound like you are giving an order or request.
added german language would be wrong.
Here are the 5 key points:
- Write clear and good commit messages that are easy to read.
- Use prefixes like 'feat:' or 'fix:' at the start of your commit messages.
- Do not put a period (dot) at the end of your commit message.
- Keep commit messages short, not more than 50 characters.
- Use a commit body if needed.
What are commit prefixes?
In short, they make your commits look pretty ✨.
Imagine a commit message like this: fixed typo. This brings up questions: Where was the typo fixed? Will it break the API?
To make things clearer, use prefixes. In our example, the typo was in the dog images API, changing the query parameter from ?naem=<NAME> to ?name=<NAME>. This is a breaking change because old code using the wrong parameter will stop working.
A good commit prefix for this change could be: fix(api/dogs)!: query param typo.
Lets break it down:
fix(this): test
to easly make good commit messages.
