Microsoft sparked a developer revolt by silently adding "Co-authored-by: Copilot" to VS Code Git commits.

I'm still not very good at making my Git commit messages (for my blog repo) look good; I'm often just trying to dump all the self-reminders/notes in there kind of messily.

I now know (a bit late):
1. The first line is the most important and should be <50 characters with no period
2. There should be a blank line after the first
3. The rest can be up to 72 char.

I hope one day my commit messages can be clean and consistent!

"[Helix] Spellchecking in Git commits with Harper"

https://blog.skyplabs.net/posts/helix-git-commit/

"Unlike Vim, Helix doesn't include a spell checker natively. However, Helix has built-in support for LSP, which makes it easy to pair it with an LSP-based spell checker such as Harper. All you need is tweaking a bit your languages.toml Helix configuration file as explained in the official documentation."

Today I read this article by @simontatham on commit messages:

Alright today I learned about the git commit conventional.

https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/

My commit message where always a mess because I never was sure what to write there. That did make them useless for me an other people I do work with.
I do want to change that and do try this convention going onward.
Today I really learned why good commit messages are so important, nobody ever teached me that and it took me several years to realize that myself.

Undeniable proof of how good I am at creating little, gradual, meaningful, and well sorted commits.
