I completely agree with these points [Travis Aaron Wagner](https://hashnode.com/@tawdev). Good commit messages can save a developer a lot of time trying to figure out what has changed and where.

Great article!

I love how you took my article and basically made it better :D Thanks for sharing your thought on git commits. It's a topic I think we don't talk about enough. And this leads to junior git users not getting into a good git habit.

I don't know if I would say "better" 😊 but thank you! Reading your article made me realize this isn't talked about this enough, even though we all use Git every day. Have you looked at the Conventional Commits standard? I'm considering using it for my next project.
