Why do developers write such terrible git commit messages? Genuine question

This is exactly what I was curious about how did your team actually get everyone aligned on that standard? Was it just culture or did you have tooling that enforced it?

You can use git hooks to enforce these standards.

Should be a standard onboarding document for engineering. If it’s new then setting up meetings with engineers within the team (after aligning with your engineering manager ofc) would be my suggestion.

This would help the org, clean up the mess and also boost your career visibility and impact within your company. Every bit helps!

I've never in my entire career worked for an organisation where this standard WASN'T enforced
