Git Commit Guidelines

We are using the same commit guidelines as the Atom project.

Taken from https://atom.io/docs/latest/contributing#git-commit-messages:

• Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
• Use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...")
• Limit the first line to 72 characters or less
• Reference issues and pull requests liberally
• Consider starting the commit message with an applicable emoji:
  • 💄:lipstick: when improving the format/structure of the code
  • 🐎:racehorse: when improving performance
  • 🚱:non-potable_water: when plugging memory leaks
  • 📝:memo: when writing docs
  • 🐧:penguin: when fixing something on Linux
  • 🍎:apple: when fixing something on Mac OS
  • 🏁:checkered_flag: when fixing something on Windows
  • 🐛:bug: when fixing a bug
  • 🔥:fire: when removing code or files
  • 💚:green_heart: when fixing the CI build
  • ✅:white_check_mark: when adding tests
  • 🔒:lock: when dealing with security
  • ⬆️:arrow_up: when upgrading dependencies
  • ⬇️:arrow_down: when downgrading dependencies
  • :octocat: when changing git related stuff (gitignore, gitattributes, hooks etc...)
  • ⚡:zap: when doing massive changes which breaks old stuff
