The author describes a workflow of embedding executable test plans directly in commit messages using a tool called scrut, enabling test-driven validation, easy bisecting, and re-validation of commit stacks. A helper script called git-test-message extracts and runs these embedded tests, integrating with branchless git workflows.
Background
The article is inspired by Julio Merino's work on markdown-based test suites and extends the idea into version control commit messages for practical developer workflows.
