Make sure lines never exceed 80 columns in width when using four-character
|
||
indentation steps. This helps contributors who do not have access to text
|
||
wrapping in their text editors or terminals.
|
||
|
||
For usage text and help messages, do not implement a -h option. Instead, print
|
||
usage information when any erroneous option is specified. Follow the NetBSD
|
||
style guide for the usage text’s output format [1].
|
||
|
||
If committing a new source file, format the commit message following these
|
||
guidelines:
|
||
|
||
$ git commit -m 'tool(1): added feature x'
|
||
|
||
If committing a new library or header file:
|
||
|
||
$ git commit -m 'library(3): fixed overflow'
|
||
$ git commit -m 'header.h(3): added header.h(3)'
|
||
|
||
If committing a new manual page:
|
||
|
||
$ git commit -m 'tool.1: added author details'
|
||
|
||
If modifying some other file or directory:
|
||
|
||
$ git commit -m 'README: clarified'
|
||
$ git commit -m 'tests/posix: fixed bug #47'
|
||
|
||
For multiple of these:
|
||
|
||
$ git commit -m 'Makefile, tool(1): added tool(1)'
|
||
$ git commit -m 'tool(1): added tool(1); \
|
||
library(3), library.3: added library(3)'
|
||
$ git commit -m 'tool(1): fixed #42 & added feature x'
