Use a Git commit message template to write better commit messages

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

A contract for general design services.

This contract for general design sevices is a hybrid of this one on Docracy and the AIGA one also found on Docracy. I wanted something that was simple yet covered the important bits such as payment schedule, kill fee, liability, rights etc. Change the parts in square brackets to suit. I've had this checked by a lawyer but I recommend if you decide to use it you also get it looked at by a lawyer too. Never do work without a contract in place. The majority of clients are good, decent and want to create great work with you — having a solid contract in place will strengthen that relationship and provide you with protection should things go awry.

Agreement for commission of work between [Designer Name] (Designer)

and [Client Name] (Client)

on [Date]

Here are a few questions that will tee us up for a good conversation:
- Can you tell me about your project in a few sentences?
- What’s the timeframe? Does a certain event depend on this project launching?
- What are you looking for from us? Do you want us to design, build, and launch the whole site? Or do you have developers or other partners lined up and only need us for design?
- Have you already started on any part of the project? Do you have existing work? A new logo? Some rough designs or ideas for the site?
- How large is your team? What are the roles you envision on your end?
- How did you hear about our work? What specifically interests you about it? Any projects that you’re keen on?
- How much money have you set aside for this project?
- Are you talking to others about this project? Might we ask how many? What do you like about their work?

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Tiny Content Framework

Tiny Content Framework

About the project

This is a tiny content strategy framework focused on goals, messages, and branding. This is not a checklist. Use what you need and scrap the rest. Rewrite it or add to it. These topics should help you get to the bottom of things with clients and other people you work with.

Give me feedback on Twitter (@nicoleslaw) or by email (nicole@nicolefenton.com).
