    When developers commit source code to a shared repository (for integration in software people like us use), they have the often-squandered opportunity to summarize the changes they are submitting. Linus (rightfully) thinks this opportunity should be leveraged more appr9opriately and more often, with more quality.

      If you’re smart, you’ll make good commit messages in any commit, no matter how small and personal the repo. Because one day you’ll have no idea what that change was about and why and a small note will make it much easier to figure out.
