Pull Requests
- Find an issue to work on, or create a new one.
- Fork the repo and/or pull down the latest changes from

git checkout -b issue-<###>-<short-description>
. - Write code.
- Add unit tests.
- Verify linting and unit tests by running
npm test
. - Update docs if needed.

Please try to keep PRs small to decrease the time required to review and merge.
Commit Message Guidelines
We have adopted standards similar to Angular for how our git commit messages should be formatted. This leads to more readable messages, which are easier to follow when looking through the project history. Those messages are used to generate the VoTT change log.
Commit Message Format
Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer.
<type>: <short description>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
Header
Type
Must be one of the following:
- build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
- ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
- docs: Documentation only changes
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
Short Description
Contains a succinct description of the change:
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
- don't capitalize the first letter
- no dot (.) at the end
Body
Just as in the short description, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
Footer
The footer should contain any information about breaking changes and is also the place to reference Azure DevOps user stories/tasks or GitHub issues that this commit closes.
Commit Message Example
fix: add debouncing to asset scroller to correct browser scroll position
There is no debouncing when we store the asset container's scroll position.
This results in erratic, jumpy scrolling and a poor user experience. Improve
stability and usability with debouncing.
