NOTE

Multi-Purpose Git Commits

Git commits are used for multiple purposes such as sharing work, documenting work through commit messages, and saving work. Sharing work involves pushing code for review and feedback, similar to the function of mailing lists. Commit messages help in documenting the work for future reference. Additionally, commits are used to save work, ensuring that progress is recoverable. However, overloading commits with these diverse functions can lead to inefficiencies in tools. It is suggested to separate these functions to have a dedicated mechanism for saving work, documenting work more effectively than commit messages, and sharing work without conflicts.
