          Real talk: I have worked at a company where an exec briefly had the bright idea to rank developers on number of commits made.

          You can imagine how that turned out.

          He wasn’t an exec for very long.

            lmaoo, I can’t believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
            I’m already imagining commits piling up with comments like:

            • “add a newline”
            • “move function up”
            • “rename variable users to user_list
            • “Revert previous commit”
            • “no John, it’s user_list and that’s it, don’t you dare change it again”

            He wasn’t an exec for very long.

            Good riddance I guess

              Oh, no, we can do better.

              Every single line of every single PR is an individual commit. And never squash-commit.

                  If you really want to nuke it from orbit: do it for every character.

                  It is absolutely technically feasible to go further than that, but I think that’s the point of diminishing returns in terms of effort.

    “Update”

    It was my dotfiles, ok?

        Bold of you to assume there is a cohesive theme to dotfile commits. Usually it’s just been long enough that I don’t want to lose my latest tweaks

      My commit messages have gotten extremely lazy since I start squashing all my commits down to one. I just describe the PR on the first commit message and write nonsense in all the others.

        I’ve been adding the commit shas + messages to the final description, if anyone wants to see my exploratory work.

          I know that if you are on the local repository where the commits were originally created they’ll remain accessible through recovery methods but AFAIK orphaned commits aren’t synced to other machines.

            That’s correct. This is for work, which uses GitHub. The dangling commits remain accessible via their sha through the web ui, so I can link them in the PR description. I don’t put them in the actual commit message.

            I think these are garbage collected eventually, but no idea on cadence. It’s long, anyway.

    …and yes we have our office coffee list in a git repo.

      Do new hires have to submit a pull request to get in on it? If so, I’m guessing the non-technical staff don’t get to drink a lot of coffee.

      Do you have any plans to open source your coffee list? I want to add this feature where I get an iced coffee in the morning

    “28496 - there, it’s fucking fixed you twat waffle.”

    Ticketed bug bosses son found. Dude nagged his dad who nagged us until it got fixed. Boss doesn’t review code. And for the sake of a half dozen coworkers, I hope he never does.

    “;”

    Previous commit was some stupid easy fix I didn’t even bother compiling. Well, I should have, because it was the first time in recent memory I committed some code with a missing semicolon…

    Before anyone asks : no, we don’t do reviews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
