golang webapp framework (rails inspired) with WASM, Effortless Migrations, Simple SQL that's NOT gorm, and Ultimate Routing Control (by andrewarrow)
I stated using gofakeit's "hackerphrase" for all commit messages.

hp | git commit -a -F -
hp is a golang binary that just spits out a hacker phrase. I have this aliased with the letter q for "quick" so I'm always checking in stuff with q return push done.

This bad commit message keeps resurfacing on HN front page like beach litter. I would just go with "Remove non-breaking space characters" instead of writing a Russian novel. Also, if you're on macOS just use a Karabiner rule [0] that converts all non-breaking space characters to regular space characters to prevent yourself from accidentally typing it out.

> On my work I make 1-15 commits a day. If I have to spend thought cycles on the commit message, that is time that goes from other productive endeavours.
I make roughly that many commits a day as well. If something's easy to understand I'll put in a simple commit message (e.g. [1]), but I do put in the effort for more complicated ones.

Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

Of course Emacs has a mode for it:

gh-ph
`gh-ph` is a GitHub CLI extension and a GitHub Action that puts commit history into your pull request description
> Everything they talk about in this article is what is great about the _rest_ of the commit message, which, given modern tools, is _almost never_ seen by anyone.
This was why I created gh-ph [1].
