Other than your Git repository storing your source code, the second most valuable source of information is your commits which chronicle the evolution of your codebase. Your commits are a treasure trove of information — when well written — because they allow you to:
- Achieve Second-Order Thinking by having the long tail of thought in order make forward thinking decisions.
- Have well thought out Code Reviews. Even better, mentorship is built in by default because your code review’s Git history allows less experienced engineers have a chance to level up and learn from more experienced engineers.
- Automate the generation of release notes and versions based on your curated commit history to produce Milestones for your team, stakeholders, and customers.
