And the blame has those commit messages. That is beside the fact that most authors may not even work there anymore
I don't even waste my time anymore frankly. people just do a
git add .
andgit commit -m "did some stuff"
.sorry, I've just worked with a lot of shitbag devs that honestly think of git as a flat filesystem that can't even properly branch or merge.
personally, I still put in clear commits and even do patch level adds. from what I have experienced though, using AI to generate those commit messages based on actual changes would be a godsend compared to the fuckery I've had to deal with.
