How to make a nice commits #3
Description
Commit messages
- Squash commits if they do the same thing like below
- Don't mention RepositoryForm. It was an example...
- Get rid of commits you don't want. Like that one hacky change we needed to make it work :)
- No merge commits! Delete it!
- No wip in commit message. Change it!
- Too much info. No need to write about modified files.
-
No Czech. Only English.
-
Don't mention SWI.
-
Having only one commit. Shame on you.
How to fix it
git rebase -i master
- p, pick = use commit
- r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
- e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending (you can change changes)
- s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit (you can change commit message)
- f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message (you can't change commit message)
- x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell (never used and you should't use it either)
- d, drop = remove commit
