  • When writing comments in the commit message, ensure that the comments are short concise details of what was added in this commit, not huge explanations of why you did these changes, thats for the code comments!

-The other is to always add messages of what you have changed, not what you are planning on changing! All to often I’ve seen others write messages that their committing before doing so-and-so but this can make a history lookup pretty confusing, especially if you don’t get around to adding that feature in the next commit!

Great post!

I actually haven’t used any form of version control, as I am pretty much the only developer in all my projects, so I had some trouble with some of the words that are unique to experienced users. Is there anywhere out there that covers the terminology, and perhaps some basic introduction to version control?
