Was digging through a project at work today where some guy in 2014 made 100+ commits in a single day and the only one that had a comment said "upgrading to v4.0".

You get two options.

Normally it’s a squashed commit of everything in a feature, with a commit message like:

[JIRA-1234] - Descriptive but Concise Name of Feature

But every now and then it’s multiple commits like:

quick fix
Ugh, fix typo
fuck fuck why doesn’t it work
Oh, I’m stupid

Or if you're using feature branches, rebase, squash, and force push before opening the MR
