For git commit messages. I've began liking to initiate or end a statement with stuff like these:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you guys feel about these in git commit messages?

If they're relevant to the code change ("Not sure what I did, but the tests are passing now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯", "Removing production usernames and passwords from front-end config files, MIKE ಠ_ಠ"), it's fine.

If I see a commit that's just "¯\_(ツ)_/¯", I will force-push over it, don't you even think about it.

Anyone who writes these needs to have themselves, not the changes, committed.
