#gitcommits

I'm still not very good at making my Git commit messages (for my blog repo) look good; I'm often just trying to dump all the self-reminders/notes in there kind of messily.

I now know (a bit late):
1. The first line is the most important and should be <50 characters with no period
2. There should be a blank line after the first
3. The rest can be up to 72 char.

I hope one day my commit messages can be clean and consistent!

In the context of #gitcommits or #githistory what story would you find more useful?

1. I developed A and B simultaneously B solves a problem for A which depends on B.

2. I developed A in its entirety, and then made this abstraction into B from A
