# Commit guidelines
|
|
|
|
## Template
|
|
|
|
Commit messages should match the following template:
|
|
|
|
> `TYPE`: `MESSAGE`
|
|
>
|
|
> `DESCRIPTION`
|
|
|
|
### `TYPE`
|
|
|
|
`TYPE` can have one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
| value | meaning |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| build | Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm) |
|
|
| ci | Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs) |
|
|
| docs | Documentation only changes |
|
|
| feat | A new feature |
|
|
| fix | A bug fix |
|
|
| perf | A code change that improves performance |
|
|
| refactor | A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
|
|
| style | Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc) |
|
|
| test | Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests |
|
|
|
|
These are the [types](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#type), that angular uses. They are easily adaptable for all TypeScript based web related projects.
|
|
|
|
### `MESSAGE`
|
|
|
|
`MESSAGE` should complete a sentence that starts with "This commit will...".
|
|
|
|
The first line of the commit message should not be longer than 50 chars overall.
|
|
|
|
### `DESCRIPTION`
|
|
|
|
`DESCRIPTION` can contain a longer description of the commit. Each line should not be longer than 70 chars. New lines can be used to structure the description.
|
|
|
|
To reference or close [issues](ISSUES.md) GitLab [keywords](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/issues/automatic_issue_closing.html) can be used in the last line(s) of the description:
|
|
|
|
> Fixes #42
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
> References #42
|
|
|
|
## Advantages
|
|
|
|
The result of those commit guidelines is a concise and clear history of the development.
|
|
|
|
Another advantage is the automatic [generation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/conventional-changelog-cli) of a changelog that gives an overview of the changes.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
conventional-changelog -p angular -i CHANGELOG.md -s -r 0
|
|
```
|
|
