"Fix"

With 400 lines changed over 50 files

I had a commit recently that was like 2000 lines changed over 6 files. Really should have been a smaller issue.

Y tho??? Holy shit. Commits should be like functions. One thing and one thing only. Maybe a small group of files like the same change over multiple config files. 50 is insane to me.

"Bits were fiddled, possibly in the right way"

My butterfly was having a bad day so I can't be sure, sorry

'Change' if I'm feeling particularly chaotic.

git commit -m $(date)

Make a cron job for git add . && git commit "$(date)" && git push -f

I actually did this once...I swear there was a good reason. I promise it wasn't anywhere that mattered.

Edit: I think it was a personal journal repo that I wanted daily versions of, but couldn't be bothered to actually check in.

See jira-blah: is my go-to. Sometimes there's even a jira at that location/number 🤔

'fixed odd or even function for values 600 to 950, plus other stuff I forgot to commit earlier'
