Make Git Work For You

Originally presented 20 Oct 2022 by D. Ben Knoble

or, Why You Should Write Detailed Commit Messages

(No material publicly available.)

Given at a technology education series on best practices at Capital One.

Commit messages matter. Git already knows how to answer questions like “who,” “what,” “when,” and “where.” With a good commit message, you can teach Git “why.”

Good commit messages create a virtuous cycle and are one of the few investments we can make that pay dividends virtually forever.

This talk eventually launched my internal Git Office Hours series.
