After seeing people use the @jetbrains UI to commit to git I understand where all those - sorry: shitty - commit messages come from…
🙈
An improvement would already be to have a “Subject” line and the text box.
And have the subject line follow the Beams Rule.
Sonthat the first line of the commit message finishes the sentence
“When this commit is applied it will…”
And please: No longer than 56(?) characters (Unicode). Keep it short. You got the textbox to explain *why* in full length.
One more reason why Git-Fork is the GOAT - it does have separate subject and description fields. Don’t lump all GUI tools in together and generalize
@Cyno IIRC I explicitly talked about the Jetbrains UI.
Others I didn’t check and mean! Sorry if it came across like that!
