============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you intend to contribute to this project, please keep some simple rules in
|
|
|
|
|
mind:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-05-31 11:14:51 +00:00
|
|
|
- one commit per feature/fix
|
2013-05-08 12:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
- the short commit message shouldn't be longer than 50 characters
|
|
|
|
|
- the short commit message should start with an uppercase character
|
|
|
|
|
- use the imperative for the short commit message
|
2013-05-12 22:09:31 +00:00
|
|
|
- don't finish the short commit message with a '.'
|
2013-05-08 12:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
- don't use github-specific syntax to close an issue (I'll do that, when
|
|
|
|
|
merging into master)
|
|
|
|
|
- it's always a good idea to have a look at 'git log' to get an idea how to
|
2013-05-12 22:09:31 +00:00
|
|
|
format one's own commits
|
2013-05-08 12:59:27 +00:00
|
|
|
- if you have questions about a certain patch or feature requests, just open
|
|
|
|
|
a Github issue
