Commits

These conventions are adapted from the Lean prover commit conventions.

General Rules

  1. Every commit must be small and self-contained. If you have made a lot of changes/additions, split them into modular, smaller changesets. This makes it easier for you and other contributors to merge changes and understand the development process.
  2. Every commit must compile. If possible, install a continous integration process for your project and integrate this check.
  3. Adhere to the commit message format explained below.

Format of The Commit Message

<type>(<scope>) <subject>
<NEWLINE>
<body>
<NEWLINE>
<footer>

<type> is:

  • feat (feature)
  • fix (bug fix)
  • doc (documentation)
  • style (formatting, missing semicolons, ...)
  • refactor
  • test (when adding missing tests)
  • chore (maintain, ex: travis-ci)
  • perf (performance improvement, optimization, ...)

<scope> is a name of theory or a directory which contains changed files. For instance, it could be

  • continued_fractions/Convergents
  • continued_fractions/
  • Groups

<subject> has the following constraints:

  • Use imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
  • Do not capitalize the first letter
  • No dot(.) at the end

<body> has the following constraints:

  • Just as in <subject>, use imperative, present tense
  • Includes motivation for the change and contrasts with previous behavior

<footer> is required in either of the following two situations:

  • Breaking changes: All breaking changes have to be mentioned in footer with the description of the change, justification and migration notes

  • Referencing issues: Closed bugs should be listed on a separate line in the footer prefixed with "Closes" keyword like this:

    Closes #123, #456

Example

fix(continued_fractions): update assumption from convergency theorem

The convergency theorem does not require a field instance but more generally works
on any integral domain.

Closes #1337
