git log --pretty=fuller [commit hash]

Be sure you are in the location of that file inside your command line tool.

How many changeset are in your repository

Do you find any patterns?

All merges tied to issues since we squash and merge. Each commit represents a pull request.

Not really but we tie them back to issues that have more details.

Do you find any patterns?

We're following the pattern where each commit that gets merged into main branch encompasses the number of ticket in Jira and its title.

We have some checkups in place which verify the commit message pattern and it will disallow commits from being merged if they break that pattern.
