+## About commit comments
+
+Commit comments are comments people add directly to a commit outside of a pull request. Disallowing commit comments can help organizations reduce noise and maintain cleaner commit histories, especially if commit comments are not part of your development workflow.
+
+It is possible to allow or disallow commit comments at a repository level. Organization owners can configure the default setting for commit comments for all repositories in an organization.
+
+## What happens when commit comments are disabled?
+
+When you disable commit comments for your organization:
+
+* People cannot create new commit comments.
+* Existing commit comments remain visible.
+* Repository administrators can override the setting in their repository's settings.
+
+## Managing the default setting for commit comments in your organization's repositories
