Git Commit Messages: A Story of Desperation

January 5, 20246 min read

The Beginning: Hope

feat: adds user authentication

Look how professional. Conventional Commits standard. Everything beautiful, organized.


The Middle: Reality

fix: fixes login bug
fix: now it goes
fix: fixing typo
fix: oh god why doesn't it work

Here sanity begins to slip through fingers. That cute standard? Gone.


The End: Chaos

wip
aaaaa
WORKS DAMMIT
final commit final fr now it goes v2
revert "revert "fix: login""

Psychiatric Analysis via Git Log

It's possible to trace a dev's psychological profile just by reading their Friday afternoon commits. It starts with stoicism and ends in pure nihilism.


Golden Tip

If you ever have to `git commit --amend` for the fifth time, stop. Breathe. Go get a coffee. Or accept that your destiny is to have a dirty history forever. After all, "squash commits" at the end only serves to hide the shame, and we know what you did.
