MY FAVOURITE GIT COMMIT
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
The author’s favorite Git commit is a message from their time at the Government Digital Service while working on GOV.UK. The commit message, titled "Convert template to US-ASCII to fix error," is valued because it provides clear explanations for the change, is searchable, tells a story about the problem and its resolution, and helps spread knowledge and build trust within a team. Good commit messages are helpful in maintaining a codebase's history and improving collaboration among developers.
