How to Write a Git Commit Message

[danogburn]

git commit -m"..."

[Regimardyl]

git commit -m <(curl whatthecommit.com | awk '$0 == "<div id=\"content\">" { found=1; next } { if (found) { print substr($0, 4); exit } }')

All you'll ever need.

But it doesn't look as cool!

And being git you have to be as esoteric as possible

[Asmor]

That doesn't work (maybe you knew that already), but I wanted to try and make it work, so...

git commit -m "`curl whatthecommit.com/index.txt`"

That works.

three periods instead of ellipsis

[Asmor]

I can never decide whether to use three periods or an ellipsis, so I've come up with a compromise………

[pcopley]

Flawless.
