Writing commit messages is like a daily exercise you have to practice as a programmer.

Thank you for the post. Writing good git commits is really important. There is a git repo regarding it github.com/joelparkerhenderson/git... and also you can create a commit template and share it with the community 🥳
Oh, I didn't knew that.
Thanks!
Knowledge in return of knowledge, haha.
Good advice, I like the "reason" part, people usually leave that out and that's the important bit - we can see what the code changes are, and figure out what the commit is supposed to do, but why is much harder to work out, especially when browsing through older code base when original developers are not available to answer the questions anymore.
Exactly! Thanks for reading.
