Commit Rules

• Code to be committed must compile.

• Use UTF-8 as file encoding.

  Otherwise it may not compile on all machines.

• By default, only commit to your personal contrib.

  Do not commit to org.matsim.* unless you are the maintainer of a package/module in org.matsim.*.

• Create Pull-Requests for changes in org.matsim.*.

  Do not directly commit to org.matsim.*, but create a pull request with the changes you want to apply.

  We use conventional commit messages for the Pull-Requests. Don’t get too creative with scopes, but try use one of the scopes that is already being used or none at all, as otherwise the generated changelog might become too cluttered.

• Write useful commit messages.

• Write your commit messages in English.

• Do not commit personal data (=non-code) files to the repository.

  Exception is data for test cases, which must be committed to test/input/*. See the detailed discussion of this topic.
