  2. Hi Nicole.

    Make sure the description follows our [guide] on commit messages. We like to see a kind of story about the problem that this is solving and a high-level summary of how, and that should be descriptive enough without having to look at a line of code.

    There may not appear to be a big story for this change, but coming in without looking at the code, I don't know what cache directory this is referring to, meaning I will have to jump in and read it. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it might be less obvious 3 years from now.

    Knowing which cache directory and where that comes from can be helpful.

    Also, as part of this, make sure there's sentence casing, and a Testing Done.
