-2. Ensure that each of the commit messages are in the following style:
|
|
|
+We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to **more readable messages** that are easy to follow when looking through the **project history**.

|
|
|
- - `docs`: (changes to the documentation)
|
|
|
- - `style`: (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change)
|
|

|
|
|
+The **header** with **type** is mandatory. The **scope** of the header is optional. This repository has no predefined scopes. A custom scope can be used for clarity if desired.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ```
|

|
|
|
+Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Scope
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There are no predefined scopes for this repository. A custom scope can be provided for clarity.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Subject
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The subject contains a succinct description of the change:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
|
|
|
+- don't capitalize the first letter
|
|
|
+- no dot (.) at the end
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Body
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Footer
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
