Thanks for reading this. We love having external collaborators!
If you're submitting changes, consider writing a test or two?
Always write a clear log message for your commits. One-line messages are fine for small changes, but bigger changes should look like this:
$ git commit -m "A brief summary of the commit
>
> A paragraph describing what changed and its impact."
If you want to learn more about the zen of commit messages, this article by Chris Beams has been an excellent guide to our work, wherever we go.
