GitHub Commit Limit

August 19, 2018 · View on GitHub

See http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html Here are some issues with making a change to a file online at GitHub:

  • To commit a change, you'll get a input for the commit title and a textarea for any additional details.
  • There is an alert that pops up when you go past 50 characters in the title, but shows nothing in the textarea.
  • These elements do not use a monospace font, nor do they show any indication as to where you should add a line break to maintain formatting This style was inspired by this thread :heart: Linus
