About commit comments

Commit comments are comments people add directly to a commit outside of a pull request. Disallowing commit comments can help organizations reduce noise and maintain cleaner commit histories, especially if commit comments are not part of your development workflow.

It is possible to allow or disallow commit comments at a repository level. Organization owners can configure the default setting for commit comments for all repositories in an organization.

What happens when commit comments are disabled?
