Git guidelines

Git commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits conventions. Here are a few well-formed examples:

chore: flatten imports and re-export `Cpu`
fix(docs): use `align` instead of `style`

After the first release, changelogs will be kept as described by Keep a Changelog.

Code guidelines

Check for Clippy lints by running cargo clippy, and apply suggested changes, if any. If there is a good reason not to apply Clippy's suggestion, add an #[allow(clippy::some_lint)] attribute to the smallest possible region (e.g. the function containing the offending code), along with a comment explaining your decision.

Ensure that all code has been formatted with Rustfmt before committing. This can be done by configuring your editor to autoformat on save or by running cargo fmt.

You can disallow local commits with clippy lints or formatting issues by creating a pre-commit hook. Create an executable file at .git/hooks/pre-commit with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

cargo clippy -- -Dwarnings
cargo fmt --check
