More drive-by criticism of your commits, meant in a sincere attitude of helping you learn.

As best I can tell, lots of your commits seem to be including several unrelated changes.

This means commit messages become longer as they have to explain more things, and they also end up explaining the diff so that you can fit more on one page.

I'd suggest getting in the habit of making coherent commits with one change each. Some changes will be trivial, and the diff will be self explanatory. Then you can save your writing effort for commits that are challenging.

On the other hand, if I'm wrong and many changes to have to get bundled, then the commit message would be a good place to explain why.

I wrote more on the "primitives" and what I think of as the "physics" of commits here: https://crabmusket.net/2024/thoughts-on-git-commits-branches...
