Is it a bad practice to write multiline commit messages on git? [closed]

Question

My commit messages on git usually look like the following:

* Fix bug abc
* Refactor xyz
* Document 123
* ...

I'm wondering whether this is a bad practice and I should prefer one-line commit messages or at least provide a header line.

On the other hand, this would be less comfortable to write ...

What are your recommendations?

Answer 1

Git standard (even though you can do as you please) is:

• single line with a brief summary of the change
• empty line
• All the gory details in multiple lines
