My attempt at producing the ultimate guide to creating Git commits that I wish I had when I was a less experienced developer.

Git Commit Creation

This is an article in which I explore the details and thinking that goes into how you should create git commits, and why. I like to think of it as the article I wish existed when I was just starting out over 20 years ago.

I wanted to cover all the things that you should think about at a high level. That way it at least could work as an entry point to deeper exploration of the particular areas if the reader isn’t completely sold or they want to just gain a deeper understanding. While at the same time trying to provide enough details to show why and how these choices are valuable. This is always a tricky balance.

Anyways, I would love any feedback on thoughts on how this could be improved.

Thanks

    Yep. It just points to the old sha if it hasn’t changed that file.

    In terms of blog stack. It is very simple. It is a static site generated with a Rust static site generator, Zola.

    The styles are just hand rolled SCSS that I have whipped up and tweaked over the years. Every so often I feel it needs a refresh and rework the styling. Recently I pulled in some stuff to make it feel more terminal like.

    In terms of the diagrams I created them with Excalidraw. It is a go to of mine for diagraming.
