    Well some colleagues just put the date in the message... Including the exact time of the commit. Yay!

    "updated"
    "bug fixed"
    "code improved"
    "small change"
    Of course I never even once used those commit messages, they came into my mind entirely randomly... 😇

    If you can't succinctly describe your commit, it probably should have been multiple commits. #srp
