Sentry Commit Messages

Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

The header is required. Scope is optional. All lines must stay under 100 characters.

Commit Types

| Type | Purpose | |------|---------| | feat | New feature | | fix | Bug fix | | ref | Refactoring (no behavior change) | | perf | Performance improvement | | docs | Documentation only | | test | Test additions or corrections | | build | Build system or dependencies | | ci | CI configuration | | chore | Maintenance tasks | | style | Code formatting (no logic change) | | meta | Repository metadata | | license | License changes |

Subject Line Rules

  • Use imperative, present tense: "Add feature" not "Added feature"
  • Capitalize the first letter
  • No period at the end
  • Maximum 70 characters

Body Guidelines

  • Explain what and why, not how
  • Use imperative mood and present tense
  • Include motivation for the change
  • Contrast with previous behavior when relevant

Footer: Issue References

Reference issues in the footer using these patterns:

Fixes GH-1234
Fixes #1234
Fixes SENTRY-1234
Refs LINEAR-ABC-123
  • Fixes closes the issue when merged
  • Refs links without closing

Examples

Simple fix

fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint

The user API could return null for deleted accounts, causing a crash
in the dashboard. Add null check before accessing user properties.

Fixes SENTRY-5678

Feature with scope

feat(alerts): Add Slack thread replies for alert updates

When an alert is updated or resolved, post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped together.

Refs GH-1234

Refactor

ref: Extract common validation logic to shared module

Move duplicate validation code from three endpoints into a shared
validator class. No behavior change.

Breaking change

feat(api)!: Remove deprecated v1 endpoints

Remove all v1 API endpoints that were deprecated in version 23.1.
Clients should migrate to v2 endpoints.

BREAKING CHANGE: v1 endpoints no longer available
Fixes SENTRY-9999

Revert Format

revert: feat(api): Add new endpoint

This reverts commit abc123def456.

Reason: Caused performance regression in production.

Principles

  • Each commit should be a single, stable change
  • Commits should be independently reviewable
  • The repository should be in a working state after each commit
