They wrote they’re using .
as placeholder commit messages.
I use f
for such [f]ollowup/[f]ixup commits, and a
for [a]dditional code/components/changesets. Both keys are trivial to enter. When cleaning it up after, f
commits are typically squashed into previous ones, and a
commits get a description and/or serve as a base for squashing.
I can see .
working well as well, but having a more obvious character (with vertical height/substance) seems preferable.
