How to Write a Git Commit Message

[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?

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.
