Fourth Post!

btw feel free to suggest/nominate post titles

Post about fandom! Or whatever! Whether it's a rave about some obscure series, or an essay dissecting every last reason why some internet-famous author should rethink their career, someone will probably read it at some point! We also just chat about life.

I haven't used it and (from my quick look), don't especially like it. Partly because at my company we try to have lots of small commits, and so adding overhead to each commit message would become overwhelming to a human reader combing through them. A single week of my work will usually have 15-30 commits on a project. We track larger features or bug fixes in external systems (and typically they're marked by separate branches).

If you want professional-sounding commits, I would just try to get devs to agree on a style guide organized around being maximally communicative to humans. For example, first word of commit is a verb that makes contribution clear (Fixes, Adds, Removes, etc...). But I would try to enforce it with social pressure, not machine systems. Any machine-readable tracking things can be done via tags or at the end of commit messages.
