I had a co-worker who insisted that Git commits must have a common commit message format. He wanted "Checked in to <put why you made this change>"

So I had my team set up commit messages to always be in the form of "Upworthy Clickbait Headline".

"Updated build, now with <put in what change was made>"

and

"After this change you won't believe that now <describe behavior change>"

He did not find that funny at all.

@XSGeek Most of us actually prefer to have a ticket ID in the message to track it back to the reason we did the commit, but maybe I'm just old fashioned.

@XSGeek I am officially changing how I do commit messages.
