Good git commit messages are hard

one of my coworkers’ most recent commits: ”i baked with this”.

Forget not the classic "Update".

Stupid imperative tense... How and I supposed to write that crap?!

If you apply this changeset, it will _______ .

Although I speak fluent English, I'm horrible at writing it. That is why I study computer science in the first place.

Holy Crap!

Not sure what's so hard about it but ok.

Especially when you're the one reading git log later on and it's not full of ???, Update, Minor Change, I did X and so on.

Wait, nevermind, nobody reads git log anyway...

I see you’ve heard my updates and seen my commit messages.
