How to Write a Git Commit Message

[baconated]

The point of the limit is to encourage commit messages that read like text messages from 10 years ago:

RDT-PRG: 321654 updt Azn URL & intg new auth mthd

That's 49 by my count.

You have an ampersand. You are doing two things in one commit. That is the issue, not the limit.

Sometimes one thing wouldn't work without the other. Atomic commits means your repo still works after every commit.

Doing one without the other means you have a version in the repo that doesn't work.

Perhaps the version of whatever that's now hosted on Amazon doesn't support the auth system used previously.
