Linus Torvalds: 'I Do No Coding Any More'

I should note this is normally done on a feature branch (with the ticket number attached). i.e. feature/{ticket-#}-{ticket-title}

When merging you can pretty easily see what ticket each commit was for. Seems superfluous to put the same information in every commit messages.

Thanks for the clarity. Yeah, I agree it would be unhelpfully repetitive if every commit in a given feature branch merge has nearly basically the same title. That's not best practice anywhere I've worked.

By contrast, referencing the ticket number (but not necessarily ticket title) is common practice in the PR message, and seems much more helpful.
