Commit message

In order to have a clean commit list and to easily find feature of a commit (goal, fix bug...), the commit message should respect some rules. Commit messages are important. They are the only way to give context to the changes that are made in a commit.

• Mandatory rules: [Player] Improve the player X control where the [ and ] surround the feature.
• Optional rules emoji: [Player] :fire: Fix the player X control where emoji could be the one you want or one of this one:
  • :fire: :fire: Fix a bug.
  • :wrench: :wrench: Feature dev that is not ui.
  • :art: :art: UI commit, readme, all that is visible.
  • :recycle: :recycle: Clean, reformat, refactor, ortho, typo...
  • :seedling: :seedling: New feature, first commit.
• Optional: Write the Why, the Reason of your commit in the message description.

Do our future selves a favour and start writing better commit messages now :)
