It's an honor to moderate the first #iamutopian post. We don't really have an appropriate scoring format for these posts, of course, as they are a new and unique thing we're doing. Therefore, the score won't be reflective of the post's quality.

This is a very useful post, and one that I hope future contributors to your category will read and refer to.

I do have a couple of comments, because I always have a couple of comments.

On the style and grammar side, the post is generally quite good, but there are small issues.

For instance, "we have different kind of metrics" should be "we have a different kind of metrics"

"speed-up code reviewing process" should be "speed up the code reviewing process." Note that I removed the hyphen from "speed up" as well.

On the content side, I would have loved to have seen your own explanation of what makes a good commit message, not the one Linus wrote. I would have also liked "some bad examples" to include some actual bad examples.

Thank you for your contribution and for being the first to brave the waters of #iamutopian.

Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

Yeah usually for projects I usually prefer commitlint to add in git precommit hook so that commit cannot be made without proper commit convention.

Thanks for this!

I was always under the impression that commit messages needed to be short and to the point. However, now that you shared what Linus said about them I won't be afraid to write more after the one line at the start.

I would also add, that it's good to have task/issue number (if it exists), first in the commit header, like ASD-123 Fix main window not being displayed. That way you can quickly see which commits are related to each other in git log.

Thanks for the clear write-up. I have something that I would LOVE to discuss with you about Utopian and git commits. Maybe we could meet up on #VIPO ?

Thanks so much for the enlightenment. Honestly, I would say I'm one of those that write bad commit messages because I never knew the usefulness until I joined utopian which I couldn't escape it and I improved a bit.

Please, I would still like to know more on writing good commit messages because the samples you gave here aren't clear enough for me. Thanks.
