Commit messages

Commit messages must follow the Angular-style commit format (but excluding the scope).

i.e:

fix: minified scripts being removed

Also includes tests

This will allow for the automatic changelog to generate correctly.

Code standards

Ensure that your code adheres to the included .jshintrc and .jscsrc configs.

Sending pull requests

  • new command line options are generally discouraged unless there's a really good reason
  • add tests for newly added code (and try to mirror directory and file structure if possible)
  • spell check
  • PRs will not be code reviewed unless all tests are passing

Important: when fixing a bug, please commit a failing test first so that Travis CI (or I can) can show the code failing. Once that commit is in place, then commit the bug fix, so that we can test before and after.

Remember that you're developing for multiple platforms and versions of node, so if the tests pass on your Mac or Linux or Windows machine, it may not pass elsewhere. I personally have Mac and Linux coverage, I need help with Windows tests.

Issues

  • Please include the output from nodemon --dump for diagnosis
  • If there's a script that nodemon is having trouble with or is causing nodemon to throw exceptions, please include it in your filed issue to allow me to replicate the issue.
