Contributing to marge-bot

marge-bot is a community project and contributions are more than welcome to keep the project going. Below are some basic guidelines to help you get started.

Commit messages

We use the Conventional Commits specification to format all our commit messages. As a community-maintained project without a dedicated release management team, this helps us automate our releases and changelog generation.

Commit formats are enforced using commitizen in our merge request pipelines. Please make sure your commit messages match this format and amend your commit message if the commit lint step fails.

Below are a few examples of commits that would fail or pass our checks:

Bad: Added support for batching
Good: feat(api): add support for batching merge requests
Bad: Update documentation for batch jobs
Good: docs(projects): update example for batch jobs
