Introduction.

In this article you would learn how to properly structure and craft decent, intuitive and readable commit messages that summarise the context of the code you published to either a remote or local branch of a repository. This would be helpful if you work on collaborative projects, and would also save you the mental stress of trying to figure out a commit. I was once guilty of creating incredibly confusing and inappropriate commit messages, that did not capture the context of my code. I totally underestimated the concept of good commit messages, feeling “code readablity” was far more important to understand. That the code itself should tell, and not the messages. I was wrong, and I do not want you to be caught up in a similar situation.
