a project isn’t dying because of no commits. Rather it’s stable I often feel I need to setup bots to make superfluous commits just to make it look like my useful and stable repos are “active” One example (not mine) a a qr-code generator library. Hasn’t been updated in 10 years. It’s perfect as is. It just provides the size and the bits. You convert those bits to any representation you want. It has no need to be updat…
It's not impossible, of course, but if I saw even a qr library that hadn't changed in 10 years I would worry that it wouldn't build on current systems (due to dependencies) and that nobody was actually using it (due to lag of bug reports).
I ran these commands on a number of codebases I work on and I have to say they paint a very different picture than the reality I know to be true. > git shortlog -sn --no-merges Is the most egregious. In one codebase there is a developer's name at the top of the list who outpaced the number 2 by almost 3x the number of commits. That developer no longer works at the company? Crisis? Nope, the opposite. The developer wa…

I don’t understand how people can remember all these custom scripting languages. I can’t even remember most git flags, I’m ecstatic when I remember how to iterate over arrays in “jq”, I can’t fathom how people remember these types of syntaxes.
I love how the author thinks developers write commit messages. All joking aside, it really is a chronic problem in the corporate world. Most codebases I encounter just have "changed stuff" or "hope this works now". It's a small minority of developers (myself included) who consider the git commit log to be important enough to spend time writing something meaningful. AI generated commit messages helps this a lot, if de…
Only two of the five depend on commit messages. Churn, authorship, and velocity work regardless. Even teams with terrible hygiene write "fix" when something breaks.
They might not include anything but the Jira ticket number, if the environment is truly lacking.

We can't.
Why do you think the `man` command exists?

That was my question too. I have plenty of projects I've worked on where they rarely get touched anymore. They don't need new features and nothing is broken.
