Originally created by @JGKle on GitHub (Oct 5, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1739

Describe the feature you'd like to request

When using git as the backend, every commit message says "Floccus bookmarks update". It would be super helpful for the commit message to say the name of the profile that did the sync - then we could quickly differentiate where each update came from, just via git log.

Additionally including the OS & browser name would be even better. i.e. commit message "Firefox for Linux - Push Tabs" (where "Push Tabs" is the user-specified profile name)

Describe the solution you'd like

Described above

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

i second this, even just iterations like 1, 2, 3, etc. would be enough for me can we just have that?!
currently every commit by floccus has the same commit message, it's inconvenient to track changes by only commit name

obsidian-git has a thing called placeholder so i can input custom properties like {{date}} for precise commit time and {{hostname}} for device name, i use "DESKTOP-1R97KDN" so i have this:

(look at the entire commit message in the 1st image above)

so...

wen iterative commit message?
