Your Git Commit Messages Suck! Here's What To Fix 🛠

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

Even if you are writing code for fun, it's important to realise this small detail reflects your developer personality in general.

Writing quality commits is what separates the average developer from the extraordinary one.


Do this! 👇

Write better Git commit messages with these things in mind:

  • Start with a verb and use the present tense.
  1. ❌ Improved, Fixed, Updated
  2. Improve, Fix, Update
  • Describe why the commit is necessary.

  • Describe what the commit does. Refer to tickets/issues if applicable.
