1. Why clean commitments matter

• They facilitate code revisions, since each change finds a clear and unique objective.
• They make it easy to reverse mistakes without messing with hundreds of lines with ambiguous messages.
• Allow Cash Bisect to quickly find the root of the problem.
• They contribute to an understandable story that facilitates long-term maintenance.

In multi-person projects, maintaining atomized and self-explanatory commitments reduces friction and increases the speed of integration.

2. Basic rules of confirmation messages

• Use imperative mode in the theme: “FEAT: Add Status Filtering” or “Fix: Fix pagination error”.
• Limit the subject to ~50 characters; The body can detail the reason, the impact and how to test.
• Separate the subject’s body with a blank line and keep the body lines up to ~72 characters.
• If possible, adopt a type prefix (feat, fix, refactor, docs) for standardization.

A well-written message reduces comprehension time for the first time.

// Clear confirmation example
feat: Add status filter to order list

This confirmation adds a status filter (open, in progress, closed)
on the order screen. Includes new components, basic tests and
Use the documentation in Readme.

3. Techniques to cleanse history

• Modify to adjust the last compromise without creating a new one.
• Soft reset (soft) to regroup local confirmations before sending.
• Interactive rebase to reorder, combine (squash), and rename confirmations.
• Caution Rules: Do not rewrite the branch history already published without notice to your colleagues.

# Fix last confirmation message
git commit --amend -m "feat: filtering by status in the order list"

# Undo the last commitment by keeping the changes in the index
git reset --soft head~1

# Interactive: rebase to set 4 previous confirmations
git rebase -i head~4
# in the editor:
# Collect first commitment
# Squash Second Engagement
# Repair Third Engagement
# Reformulate engagement room

Quick tips:
– Use fix to merge confirmations Keep a clean final message;
– Use reword to only set the message of a specific confirmation.

Security Tips: Always back up the branches in progress before changing the major changes to your base/history.

4. Recommended flow in equipment

• Create a well-defined small function branch: git checkout -b feat/clean-commits.
• Make small, atomic and clear messages during development.
• Before you open the pull/combination request, update the history locally:

  Git Search Source
  git rebase -i origin/main

  and use squash/fixup to consolidate confirmations into consistent changes.

• When finished, avoid rewriting the history already posted on Main. If you need to adjust before merge, prefer the local rebase and force only with lease on your remote branch:

  git push --force-with-lease

• Document the Public Relations Compensation History so that the reviewer understands the changes caused.

A well-defined flow reduces team conflicts and accelerates continuous integration.
