- Try to keep the same coding style as the existing one.
- New code should not contain any trailing whitespace.
- Each commit should have a single clear purpose. If a commit contains multiple unrelated changes, those changes should be split into separate commits.
- If a commit requires another commit to build properly, those commits should be squashed.
- If the PR needs to be update, push force.
