I'm late to this party...

ow.. I’m late to this party: So, a few months ago, I learned about Conventional Commits. I was always wondering why some Git repositories had this weird formatting for their commits, but I didn’t know what it was called or that it’s basically a standard.

revert: let us never again speak of the noodle incident

After working with someone who (luckily) forced it on me, I’m quite happy knowing it now! It simply makes everything more uniform and standardized, which my German OCD soul absolutely adores. I just love learning new things like this, and although yes, my repos have survived without it for the last few years, it just makes my commits much more readable now!

If you’re like me and have been living under a rock for years, be sure to check it out!
