Coding with style
-----------------
Git Commit Messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having a good guideline for creating commits and sticking to it makes
working with Git and collaborating with others a lot easier.
Here are some rules of thumb :
- Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- If you have a body, separate the subject from the body with a newline
- Limit the subject line to 72 characters
- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Use imperative
`mood <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_mood#English>`__ in
the subject line
- If the subject is not clear enough, use the body to explain what and
why as opposed to how
- Consider starting the commit message with an applicable emoji, when
you feel it's an important commit :
.. code-block:: shell
:tada: When first / initial commit
:sparkles: When introducing new features
:ambulance: When fixing a bug
:handshake: When merging files
:tractor: When you changing file structure or refactoring
:books: When writing docs
:gem: When new Release
:lipstick: For cosmetics purposes
Commit Message Format
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a
**footer**. The header has a special format that includes a **type**, a
**scope** and a **subject**:
::
<emoji> <type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
Where type can be :
* **feat**: A new feature
* **fix**: A bug fix
* **core**: Code for the Core
* **docs**: Documenting the code or writing new documentation
* **style**: Cosmetics purpose
* **test**: Adding missing or correcting tests
Examples:
::
:sparkles: feat(supann): Make supannRefId multivaluated
supannRefId on Structure object is too small and mono valued
close #5685
