Definitions
The playful or obsessive craft of writing commit messages with unusual style, humor, formatting, or aesthetic consistency. In engineering slang, commit message art can be delightful or distracting depending on whether meaning survives the performance.
In plain English: Creative or stylized commit message writing treated almost like an art form.
Example: "The repo had plenty of git commit message art, but the best messages still made the operational reason for a change obvious to tired future readers."
