Subject: Make commit messages optional
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2022 05:35:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7ED89912-2E10-4356-9C61-14B90EC0719C@icloud.com> (raw)

I think that often commit messages are unnecessary. I propose that by default a user should be able to commit without a message. 

I don't think this would be a problem from the UX point of view, because a user could get a lot of information about a change, from the history of the GitHub repository, such as from the time of change, and seeing the diff. 

I think that making commit messages options wouldn't even be a problem for retro compatibility because the feature would remain still functional for those who would want to use it.
