# Commit Messages Guideline
|
|
|
|
Commits SHOULD have the following format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<namespace?> <component>: <change>
|
|
|
|
<rationale>
|
|
|
|
(<reference-name>: <reference-id>)?
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `<namespace>`
|
|
Defines where the change took place. This can be omitted if the
|
|
namespace is `krebs`. Namespaces may be shortened to one to four characters (
|
|
lassulus -> lass, makefu -> make, tv -> tv, shared -> sha)
|
|
|
|
## `<component>`
|
|
Name of the component which was touched. `component` is
|
|
rather fuzzy and may mean different things, just choose what would fit best.
|
|
|
|
Here are a numbers of samples for defining the component:
|
|
|
|
* Change `gum` in `krebs/3modules/makefu/default.nix`: `gum.r: change ip`
|
|
* Change `prepare.sh` in `krebs/4libs/infest`: `infest: prepare stockholm ISO`
|
|
* Remove `concat` in `krebs/5pkgs`: `concat: RIP`, this commit may like some `<rationale>`
|
|
* Update `types` in `krebs/3modules`: `lib/types: add managed bool to host type`
|
|
* Change host `gum` in `makefu/1systems/gum`: `ma gum.r: add taskserver`
|
|
* Change `tinc` module in `krebs/3modules`: `tinc module: add option enableLegacy`
|
|
|
|
## `<rationale>`
|
|
Describe some trivia why the commit was done:
|
|
```
|
|
whatsupnix: init
|
|
|
|
Import from https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/443#issuecomment-296752535
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `<reference>`
|
|
Defines external resouces related to the commit:
|
|
```
|
|
Closes: #123533
|
|
CVE: CVE-2016-00001
|
|
URL: https://example.com/CVE-2016-00001
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
As a general rule of thumb you can check out: https://www.slideshare.net/TarinGamberini/commit-messages-goodpractices
|
|
Of course the pattern not always fits perfectly (for example for refactoring),
|
|
just apply some common sense and define a useful commit message,
|
|
like `refactor krebs.setuid`.
