Comment by Sunny Singh on "What is your commit message for personal repositories?"

Kinda summarizing what has been said, but I would definitely try to write meaningful commit messages for the following reasons:

The project may end up being team based in the future. You never know.
Git is your source code's history, so just think about your future self looking back on your code and wondering what a certain commit actually did.

And obviously if your code is open sourced, you would want others to be able to know what is going on.
