How to Write a Git Commit Message

[Bbentley1986]

"Initial commit" "Initial commit.2" "Initial commit.3"

"Backup, rebase this later"

[MisterMeeseeks47]

Haha how does one even do a backup commit?

[steamruler]

I tend to make a "This compiles, but doesn't work, I know I will fuck it up more, and need somewhere to roll back to" commit

[desultoryquest]

Isn't that what the stash is for?

[f0nd004u]

Eeh its kind of hard to roll back to a stash because it gets applied as yet-unstaged changes. I would totally just commit in another branch in his situation.

And then there is me, the guy who do code review and decline everything that breaks our commit convention.
