git

Most of git usage is what you already know, so depend on that. This is skill is just a refinement.

Branch naming

Just name the branch a short sentence seperated with dashes. Example: add-some-feature. Don't use feat/, hotfix/ etc. prefixes.

Commit messages

  • Always enclose code identifiers with backticks. Example: "Add html.UserPage component"
  • Always refer to Go code identifiers including the package name, like in html.UserPage above. Fields and methods on structs can be referred with model.User.Name.
  • Ask me about any Github issues that should be referenced. Reference them at the end of the commit message like this: "See #123, #234". If the commit fixes one or more issues, use "Fixes #123, fixes #234" instead (the double "fixes" is important for Github to actually close the issue).
  • Don't mention that you've updated tests, that's assumed.

Committing

  • Don't amend previous commits unless instructed to. When committing after the first commit on a branch, just commit with a simple message (e.g. "fixing …"), because the branch will most times be squashed on Github anyway.
