# Sentry Commit Messages ## Before Committing ```bash git branch --show-current ``` If the branch is `main` or `master`, create a feature branch unless the user explicitly requested a direct commit. Re-check the branch and stop if it is still `main` or `master`. Commit one coherent, independently reviewable change at a time. ## Message Rules Use: ```text <type>(<scope>): <subject> <optional body> <optional footer> ``` - Scope is optional. Add `!` before `:` for a breaking change. - Write the subject in imperative, present tense; capitalize it, omit the trailing period, and keep it at 70 characters or fewer. - Keep every line under 100 characters. - Use the body only when useful. Explain what changed and why, including previous behavior or motivation when it helps. - Never include customer or organization names, user emails, support ticket contents, secrets, or PII. Describe the technical symptom instead. Allowed types: `feat`, `fix`, `ref`, `perf`, `docs`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore`, `style`, `meta`, `license`, and `revert`. Use `ref` for refactoring without behavior changes, `style` for formatting without logic changes, and `meta` for repository metadata. ## Footers - `Fixes <issue>` closes an issue when merged. - `Refs <issue>` links an issue without closing it. - For breaking changes, add `BREAKING CHANGE: <impact>`. ## Creating the Commit Use separate `-m` arguments for paragraphs and footers. Never put literal `\n` sequences in a commit message or open an interactive editor. ```bash git commit -m "fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint" \ -m "Return 404 when the user API finds a deleted account." \ -m "Fixes SENTRY-5678" ```
