The usual way to compose a log message of this project is to - Give an observation on how the current system works in the present tense (so no need to say "Currently X is Y", or "Previously X was Y" to describe the state before your change; just "X is Y" is enough), and discuss what you perceive as a problem in it. - Propose a solution (optional---often, problem description trivially leads to an obvious solution in reader's minds). - Give commands to somebody editing the codebase to "make it so". There is no place to say "this commit will"; instead, give order to the code. in this order. > Signed-off-by: Nelson Benítez León <nbenitezl@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > I've not added tests because I'm not familiar with the test machinery, > hopefully this is still useful. Tests are required part of a new feature to become part of Git codebase. Otherwise you cannot notice if somebody else later changes the code further and accidentally breaks your feature. You can of course ask for help (i.e. "I'm not familiar with the test machinery so I am not writing any" is *not* acceptable. "I'm not familiar with the test machinery; among those who may find this new feature worthwhile to do, could somebody lend me a hand?" is very good). > ... and I don't want to activate 2FA > authentication just for this ... You could do OAuth these days, I hear?
