Branch names should be in the format **#\<issue-number\>-kebab-case-title**
|
||||
|
||||
All branches should have distinct history and should be visually easy to follow, for this reason only preform merge commits when merging code either by PR or when synchronising.

Rebasing should be avoided.
|
||||
If you wish to rebase you should be following the [Golden Rule](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/merging-vs-rebasing#the-golden-rule-of-rebasing) and ahere to the advice in the heading [Aside: Rebase as cleanup is awesome in the coding lifecycle](https://www.atlassian.com/git/articles/git-team-workflows-merge-or-rebase).

# Commit Style Guidelines for Kiwix-Android
|
||||
|
||||
### Message Structure
|
||||
Commit messages consist of three distinct parts, separated by a blank line: the title, an optional body/content, and an optional footer/metadata. The layout looks like this:
|
||||
Commit messages should be in the following format:
|
||||
|
||||
type subject
|
||||
|
||||
body
|
||||
#<issue-number> A brief description of changes on one line
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### Title
|
||||
The title consists of the subject and type of the commit message.
|
||||
|
||||
### Type
|
||||
The type is contained within the title and can be one of the following types:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Implement** feature x
|
||||
* **Fix** a bug in x feature
|
||||
* **Improve** documentation for x feature
|
||||
* **Remove** removed redundant code
|
||||
* **Restyle** formatting, missing semi-colons, etc; no code change
|
||||
* **Refactor** refactoring production code
|
||||
|
||||
### Subject
|
||||
The subject is a single short line summarising the change. It should be no greater than 50 characters, should begin with a capital letter and do not end with a period.
|
||||
|
||||
Use an imperative tone to describe what a commit does, rather than what it did. For example, use fix; not fixed or fixes or fixing.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
- Fix typo in Commit Style guidelines
|
||||
- Add crash reporting via e-mail
|
||||
- Implement SearchActivity using MVP pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of writing the following:
|
||||
- Fixed bug with Y
|
||||
- Changing behaviour of X
|
||||
|
||||
### Body
|
||||
The body includes the kind of information commit message (if any) should contain.
|
||||
|
||||
Not every commit requires both a subject and a body. Sometimes a single line is fine, especially when the change is self-explanatory and no further context is necessary, therefore it is optional. The body is used to explain the what and why of a commit, not the how.
|
||||
|
||||
When writing a body, the blank line between the title and the body is required and we should try to limit the length of each line to no more than 72 characters.
