Git Commit Creation

This is an article in which I explore the details and thinking that goes into how you should create git commits, and why. I like to think of it as the article I wish existed when I was just starting out over 20 years ago.

I wanted to cover all the things that you should think about at a high level. That way it at least could work as an entry point to deeper exploration of the particular areas if the reader isn’t completely sold or they want to just gain a deeper understanding. While at the same time trying to provide enough details to show why and how these choices are valuable. This is always a tricky balance.

Anyways, I would love any feedback on thoughts on how this could be improved.

Thanks

I agree with you. They are good principles. I was just saying not every commit is merged into main and that doesn't make it less useful in the local context even if you don't adhere to those principles. Am I crazy to assume that people tend to avoid merging things into main that don't work? 😅 Git is more than a project sharing tool. I use for projects I do alone. I use it even when I don't sync it to anywhere because it's good to have save points
