After seeing people use the @jetbrains UI to commit to git I understand where all those - sorry: shitty - commit messages come from....

🙈

An improvement would already be to have a "Subject" line and the text box.

And have the subject line follow the Beams Rule.

Sonthat the first line of the commit message finishes the sentence

"When this commit is applied it will..."

And please: No longer than 56(?) characters (Unicode). Keep it short. You got the textbox to explain *why* in full length.

@BatmanAoD so far I have seen more issue-trackes come and go than VCSs...

So yes: Training developers in commit-discipline would for me not be wasted time and money.

Cause from what I have seen so far the question is not *whether* the issue tracker changes but *when*.

But OTOH: That's just me (and some companies I worked at).

YMMV
