Commit Message
Domain: Software Engineering
🎯 Motivation
A description of what a commit does. Good messages explain why, not just what.
📋 Concrete Example
Good: ‘Fix: sort function crashes on empty list. Added check for len(list) == 0.’ Bad: ‘fixed stuff.’ The message helps teammates (and future you) understand the change.
🔗 Analogy
A commit message is like a diary entry for your code - ‘Today I fixed the sort function because it crashed on empty lists.’ Future developers read these entries to understand why changes were made.
