Visually Distinguish Breaking Commits

Problem to solve

Make breaking commits discoverable in commit lists.

Further details

In my project's commit view, it's not possible to distinguish a commit containing breaking changes from one that doesn't.

commit

The body of the commit contains the words BREAKING CHANGE:, a common pattern for commits containing changes that are not backwards compatible.

The pattern is documented by Conventional Commits.

Proposal

Indicate a commit is breaking by highlighting, or otherwise visually distinguishing, the commit.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

I should be able to scroll through the commits page and be able to distinguish which commits are breaking.
