- 10Unless you have really long ticket numbers, or some weird tool that only shows the first 10 characters of each commit message yet is still useful for some reason, I can't see any downside to this. Where I work we do this all the time.Ixrec– Ixrec2016-01-22 20:05:08 +00:00Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 20:05
- It's convenient, but it also isn't worth going to extensive lengths towards making happen. It helps you identify why a change may have been made. But you have to weigh that against the frequency of how often you need that information and what comparable benefit it actually provides versus the cost of implementing this approach.user53019– user530192016-01-22 20:07:55 +00:00Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 20:07
- I prefer to put the ticket number in the feature branch name rather than the commit message, but it's not a hill I would die on.Flater– Flater2024-01-28 22:16:25 +00:00Commented Jan 28, 2024 at 22:16

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
