Git message guidelines
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Don't use uppercase in the beggining of your subject line (the
|
|
first line of the commit message)
|
|
|
|
2. Prepend the subsystem, package or the app to your subject in
|
|
lowercase separated by a colon (example "nbody: simplify the
|
|
granularity experiment")
|
|
|
|
3. Use the imperative mood in the subject line (use "add X", not
|
|
"added X" nor "adding X"). A properly formed Git commit subject
|
|
line (without the prefix) should always be able to complete the
|
|
following sentence:
|
|
|
|
"If applied, this commit will <your subject here>"
|
|
|
|
4. Limit the subject line to 50 characters and keep it simple
|
|
|
|
5. Separate subject from body with a blank line
|
|
|
|
6. Do not end the subject line with a period
|
|
|
|
7. Wrap the body at 72 characters
|
|
|
|
8. Use the body to explain the details
