Best Git commit msg I ever saw was nothing more than: "please work"
...found after a junior dev left our company and we were reviewing things

    Best commit message I saw was a few years back. I was working on modernizing a huge legacy codebase written in ALL CAPS, (case-insensitive languages are evil) and had just finished running a script that refactored (almost)everything to lowercase. I left my workstation unattended and when I got back from lunch I found out my colleague took the liberty of committing my changes locally with the commit message "THE 80'S CALLED, THEY KEPT YELLING."

    I pushed that shit to remote so hard I nearly broke the keyboard.

    What about when you see about 10 commits, named "working", "now it's working", "NOW REALLY WORK"... 😂

    @ftuyama so true. "Fixed xyz bug"... "Ok actually fixed xyz bug"... "Fixed xyz bug again and hopefully never will have to again I TESTED 15 TIMES #&@&-_*!"

    @johnny-cache golden. I've pushed things in haste before as well. Usually just means I type my password wrong 5+ times
