This repository is just to list the guidelines I like to use on my personal and professional projects, so I can put a link to it on the CONTRIBUTING.md file when I need to create a solo project without guidelines specified by someone else.
Maybe you check my GitHub and don't find some of them, that's because the code here is a little old and where I work probably I have to use an alternative Git hosting with unlimited private repositories, like GitLab or BitBucket.
If you want to check one open source personal project with almost everything I mention here, check the laravel-vue-boilerplate.
I have good knowledge in JavaScript, PHP, C# and Java, those are the programming languages that I spent more time studying, having more than two years of experience with each of them, if you check my GitHub profile, you can notice that I've studied a lot each of them in certain parts of my life, more when I was on high school.
When I commit on Git, I like to follow the Angular Commit Message Guidelines, which is like:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
And sign the keys with a GPG Key.
When I am working in a solo project, I always create a branch name "development" to work and I merge it to "master" when everything is done.
I always use English on commit messages and code comments, I also try to create an English version of every app or website I build, so my projects usually have an English and Portuguese version.
I also like to use the GitLab CI for tests and deploy if I need to use GitLab and use Docker on every project.
For my front-end workflow I like to use Gulp as my task runner, using it to run TypeScript, Pug and Sass tasks, to minify the generated JavaScript and CSS, and bundle it with the project front-end dependencies, for more complex projects, I use Webpack and some framework instead of Gulp.
I like Material Design a lot, I always follow its guidelines when there's no design specification.
On JavaScript, I like to follow the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide.
I also prefer to use TypeScript, since I spent some years using Java and C#, I really like types and I use it on every project.
Since I really love JavaScript (it was my first programming language, I started to code using it when I was 13), I always try to use its latest features, so it's common to me to use a lot of ES Next features.
For Angular and AngularJS development I like to follow the John Papa's Angular Style Guide.
I like to use PHP Coding Standards Fixer, setting up my editor to run it on every file save.
On .NET applications like Xamarin, WPF and UWP projects I like to use Prism with the MVVM pattern.
I like to use unit tests on all projects, just to have a good sleeping at night without thinking what if something goes wrong, the tools I like the most to use:
PHPUnit for PHP projects.
Jest for JavaScript projects.
I really like the Visual Studio Code, to me it's the greatest editor as I program more in JavaScript and PHP, but if I need to program Android apps I will prefer to use Android Studio, or Visual Studio if I need to program some .NET app.
You can check my OS and VS Code configurations on the dotfiles repository, here is a screenshot of my current VS Code:
I like to study programming on the Codecademy website and read official docs of what I'm studying, but I prefer to analyse some open source code and try to understand how everything works, I learned programming in this way.
