I have gone years working on projects completely solo. Probably 99% of my commit messages are just the word "update". I also tend to do it excessively, like I am afraid the hard drive is about to crash or something (so far it hasn't).

Not sure what you would call that. Maybe "The Saver", or "The Save Scummer", or "The Scummer", or maybe just "Scum". (I can see the last one if anyone else was actually looking at these commit messages, but that almost never happens, and on the rare occasion when I know they will, such as for a PR or something, I rebase and write something descriptive).



"Minor Fix - make a commit that changes 30 files or more with a commit message length less than 9 characters"


i would split that out in two:

how about "lazy committer" for being to lazy to write descriptive commit messages. ;-)

and "the saver" for making more than 30 small commits within an hour or something like that.
