`GitHub` adds user-level default for commit comments
FIG-7831:1

`GitHub` adds user-level default for commit comments

You can now set commit comments on or off once for repos under your personal account. It trims one more per-repo setting and matters mostly if you use commits as a feedback surface; useful, but not urgent.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The new control applies at the personal-account level for repositories you own, not one repo at a time.
  2. This is a default-behavior setting for commit comments, so new repo setup and preference management get lighter.
  3. Teams building in public may leave it on for line-level feedback on commits; solo repos can shut it off to cut noise.
  4. Impact is operational rather than strategic: no pricing, workflow, or platform-policy change attached.
