Meanwhile I'm like
I've seen a changelog that said "Introduced some bugs, so we can fix them later".
It was a joke, but true nonetheless.
It was a joke
Narrator: Of course, it wasn't.
Good opportunity to say how annoying are update notes like “We are continuing to improve our application. We fixed a couple more issues to make it more stable”. Corporate style, uselessness and the fact that this update can contain some stupid redesign is disgusting.
"We are constantly improving our application. Please keep updates turned on."
I've reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they're up to something.
A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can't use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless "we improved the user experience" message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn't counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.
The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.
Yeah. I do the same. That "we are making improvements" text is corporate for "we don't have anything remotely close to change management or quality assurance".

Yep, we also got one of these:
and pretty sure the "y" was typo.
Straight to jail
We have the best commit log in the world, because of jail.
Could be worse. I've got a repo where 30 commits after eachother are just ".". Nothing else.

My personal favorite used to be "Long time no commit"
I call that a checkpoint when I do it. But I do that on my branch that will eventually be squash merged.
I like to go for dark jam poetry, in those commits.
'why is anything? can it be? desolation - oh wait, that variable is mistyped!'
The people that do this are either inept or experts, no inbetween
just a hobbyist here, but wouldn't this actually be a good use for AI? Just copy the code and "provide a git committ title for this code"?
AI might be able to write what you did but not why you did it

Every one is using AI to make funny pictures. This is what they should be using it for. Look at my diff, generate a commit message.
If you don't know what you've done within a commit, it probably shouldn't be a single commit, with or without AI Although if you're talking about using AI to make funny commit-messages...

Funny enough, that's a feature of GitHub copilot: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github-copilot#_generate-git-commit-messages
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/write-your-git-commits-with-github-copilot/
git commit -m 'initial commit'
git commit --amend
git commit --amend
git commit --amend
git commit --amend
....
git commit --amend
It's all fun and games until a git push slides in between...
kinda like on google play how it says "what's new: no information from the developer" or "what's new: we regularly update our app to fix bugs, improve performance and add new features".
Could be worse:
git commit --allow-empty-message -m ""
All praise our lord and saviour git rebase -i!
amen!
--amend
I fckd up a git rebase -i today with git commit -a --amend...
Thankfully git reflog allowed me to assemble the branch again ... from pieces.
do_the_thing() {
git commit -am "$(date)"
git push
}
And I'd bet stuff is still broken!
Yeah. Definitely. If it was fixed there would be a commit with log 'works now. WTF?!'
At least none of it is WIP...
Meh. At least you know "WIP" means you shouldn't expect that particular commit to work.
It just has to work enough.
There are some, but not in the picture 🙃
Perhaps, but there will a bunch of TODO comments so pick your poison
Maybe they tastefully squash merge when they pr/merge into main.
The don't... 😭
Commit messages of my personal projects are filled with just "fix". Life is too short to write a proper commit message
I remember making a bunch of fixes and calling them after Star Wars movies with the thing I'm fixing or what was broken as the noun.

Why user standard version and conventional commits in the first place? When this is only a fraction of purposeful commit messages
Because if you are creating a changelog automatically based on the commit messages it will be very public and that user will look bad.
