Don't Turn Commits Into Ad Space

Commit messages are technical records, not brand slots. Auto-inserted tool credits add noise to open-source history and make paid users advertise for vendors for free.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Phrases like Assisted by blabot expose a tool or company name inside project history, turning a technical field into advertising space.
  2. Open-source projects usually receive no money from those vendors, yet their commit logs carry promotional copy from paying users.
  3. Keep commit messages for intent, scope, and context. Tool attribution belongs outside the permanent project record.
