Create a branch
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ git checkout -b xx-short-description
The name of the branch should start with the number of the issue, followed by max three keywords that describe the issue (e.g. 23-fix-homepage, 56-change-font, etc.).
A commit message has a first line, a blank line and an optional body. For example (taken from the Rails repository):
Make flash messages cookie compatible with Rails 4
In #xxx we removed the discard key from the session hash used to flash
messages and that broke compatibility with Rails 4 applications because they
try to map in the discarded flash messages and it returns nil.
Fixes #xxx.
Notice that the first line and the body are capitalized. The first line should be 50 characters or less and should start with a verb (e.g. make, fix, create, implement, add, etc.).
The body should be wrapper to 72 characters and you can reference any issue and use keywords to close them.
Tip: Think about sending an e-mail to a colleague where the first line is the subject of the email, and the body is the body of the e-mail.
