IMPORTANT: Please read this great blog post: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/.
- Try to keep commits small
- Guidelines for good commit messages:
- Limit the subject line to 50 characters
- Capitalize the subject line
- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Use the imperative mood in the subject line: If applied, this commit will <your subject line here>. Examples:
- If applied, this commit will Fix hacaddy eips
- If applied, this commit will Update survey-csv worker to queue:work (#396)
- If applied, this commit will Remove deprecated methods
- If applied, this commit will Deploy dashboard and OIDC proxies skyscrapers/runtime#3
- Optional: Add a reference (GH issue) to your message. This automatically links your commit back to an issue. This is preferred when commiting something to the
main
branch - Finally, make sure to commit correct file permissions (especially for Windows users 😉):
644
for all files unless it's meant to be an executable (eg.skysginin
,755
)
We highly encourage you to make contributions that you are comfortable with. In order to work together on the same codebase we have some ground rules:
- All code changes should be tested, documented and follow the style of that project.
- Code changes should be pushed to a branch and created into a pull request that is reviewed by someone at Skyscrapers.
- When a pull request gets approved it needs to be applied before merging to the main branch (Note: don't forget to rebase the main branch before applying the changes to avoid rolling back any changes that were done before the creation of the branch).
- After everything is applied the pull request can be merged into the main branch and the branch used in the pull request should be removed.
- We use short-lived feature branches. Once approved through PR, this gets merged back into the main branch
- Naming: no preference since it's short lived
- Merging: We use Squash & Merge. Make sure the merge commit is meaningful (usually PR title)

- Evidently avoid force pushing on the main branch, since this breaks history for everybody. There are some exceptions to this rule, mainly when a rewrite is needed for removing sensitive information. Always be transparent towards the whole team when doing this.
git commit --amend
to rewrite your last commit message (before pushing)git rebase -i HEAD~2
to start an interactive rebase with the last 2 commits (you can squash commits, rewrite, pick, drop, ...)git config --global pull.rebase true
if you want to set rebase as the default option when pulling
