      Legit I would be okay with that if it was closing a test gap and the changes in the source directory were clarity and documentation

    “fix ci” “Again” “Maybe?”

    Every time I work on CIs I just lose it after 1 or 2 commits and squash merge later on. Also when integrating projects together (eg I’m working on a language and made a POC for a new parser in a separate project) I’m just like “hajzjgkzlabai yes”

      You can tell when I’ve started to lose hope when my commits start becoming “Probably won’t fix CI”

    I use a single dot when committing to a feature branch. I will either rebase or merge --squash anyway, so what’s the point really.

    e: in my private projects that is, I use a jira ticket number at work, because I have to.

    For personal stuff especially when I use git just to sync between laptop and computer most of my commits are the things that don’t work and I use for new stuff ~for changes and X for broken stuff.

    So a commit can be " + new feature ~logging to accommodate new feature X Edge case crashes the new feature."

    Worst commit that i pushed receantly was git commit -m "._." for my personal js practice repo. I needed it because all of the content is “CRLF” but I’m using “LF” on my machine.
