Was digging through a project at work today where some guy in 2014 made 100+ commits in a single day and the only one that had a comment said “upgrading to v4.0”.

    It depends on the project, but in some teams I was in we standardized in a format of multi-line commits where we simply added the issue reference as a prefix in the commit message followed by a short summary, and we added a link to the pull request in a separate line.

    We floated the idea of setting up a commit message linter but those cause more problems than the ones they solve.
