# Contribution Guidelines

### Commit message format

This repo uses [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org).

```
type(scope): Message in present tense
```
`type` may be one of:
* **feat** (new feature)
* **fix** (bug fix)
* **docs** (changes to documentation)
* **style** (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no code change)
* **refactor** (refactoring production code)
* **test** (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
* **chore** (updating build tasks etc; no production code change)

`scope` indicates the package affected by the commit:

* admin-ui
* admin-ui-plugin
* asset-server-plugin
* common
* core
* create
* email-plugin
* etc.

If a commit affects more than one package, seperate them with a comma:

```
fix(core,common): Fix the thing
```

If a commit applies to no particular package (e.g. a tooling change in the root package.json), the scope can be omitted.

#### Linting

Commit messages are linted on commit, so you'll know if your message is not quite right.
