Git Comment Convention

Comment structure

  1. First line is a subject line. It should have size about 50 characters, maximum limit is 80. Subject line is capitalized and hasn't period at the end;
  2. A blank line separates subject from body;
  3. Detailed description of the change in the body, breaking paragraphs where needed.The body should explain what you did and why vs. how. The body also starts with a capitalized letter. Bullet points are made with an asterisk (*);
  4. In case if a bug tracking system is used, bug Id is line is placed at the very end after a blank line.

Subject line tags

  • [FEATURE]: A new feature (also small additions). Most likely it will be an added feature, but it could also be removed;
  • [BUGFIX]: A fix for a bug;
  • [STYLE]: Changes in layout, page style and css files;
  • [CLEANUP]: Code formatting, improves in code style and readability;
  • [DOCS]: Changes to documentation;
  • [TEST]: Adding, changing, refactoring tests - no production code change;
  • [OTHER]: Anything not covered by the above categories.

Flags have to be added under certain circumstances

  • (!!!) : Breaking change. Significant changes in software architecture or logic, that affect existing features and extentions or change user experience;
  • (DB): Changes that require database structure or data to be updated;
  • (WIP): Work in progress. This flag will be removed, once the final version of a change is available. Changes marked WIP are never merged.
