Semantic Commit Messages

See how a minor change to your commit message style can make you a better programmer.

Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>

<scope> is optional, and may contain IDs of the task / user story we are changing the code for (e.g. SELL-123)

Example

xpepper

(
relativeDir=""
while [[ ! -d ".vagrant" ]]; do
  if [[ "$(pwd)" == "/" ]]; then
    echo "Not a valid path"
    exit
  fi

  relativeDir="${PWD##*/}/$relativeDir"
  cd ..

Refactoring Legacy Code katas	refactoring, kata

Pietro Di Bello, [28 Sep 2020 at 22:59:43]:

voi cosa consigliereste come kata per aiutare un team a fare pratica con il refactoring (abituarsi a cercare di esprimere il codice in modo più chiaro e parlante partendo da una codebase piuttosto "offuscata") ? a me vengono in mente tennis kata (un po' noioso forse), gilded rose? ugly trivia? o anche il mitico goose game refactoring kata?
