Smol Commit Club
About
I am a huge fan of atomic commits, and it is hard (I think) to get more atomic than a commit where you can count the number of characters changed on one hand.
Rules
- All entries must be a PR or equivalent.
- The PR should have as few commits as possible, ideally 1.
- Regardless of the number of commits, the final result should be no more than 5 changed characters.
- The PR must be useful and functionally enhance the program usage in an
obvious way. This includes but is not limited to:
- Fixing examples in documentation so they run correctly.
- Fixing a typo in actual code so it acts appropriately.
- Fixing wording in documentation that correctly changes the meaning of the sentence.
- Some examples of what doesn't count:
- Removing a trailing space from the end of a line.
- Fixing a typo in documentation that does not change the meaning.
- While important, these kinds of commits are cosmetic and by-definition, not functional.
- If the change needs to occur multiple times in a file, it is cheating to only do it once.
