How should I document my code changes effectively?

To document your code changes effectively, start by writing clear commit messages that explain the purpose of the changes.

What should I include in my commit messages?

Include a brief summary of the changes, the reason for the changes, and any relevant issue numbers or links.

Is there a specific format I should follow?

Yes, a common format is to use a short imperative verb for the summary, followed by a more detailed explanation if necessary.

Can you give me an example of a good commit message?

Sure! An example would be: "Fix bug in user authentication logic. This resolves issue #42 by correcting the validation process."
