A git commit is a "how," not a "what" or a "why." That's where JIRA comes in (if used properly). I don't love JIRA, but (IMHO) when it's used properly, it's a great tool.

A proper commit message should always have the ”why” (and, if necessary, the ”what”).

And even if it isn’t, how is it a developers job to explain why when there is a linked ticket in the commit message from product explaining it.
