# Contributing
## Pull requests
Prefer pull requests against `develop`. The repository default is `master`
or `main`; `develop` exists for ongoing integration.
## Commits
Subject form (kernel-style):
area: Imperative summary
- Imperative mood after the colon (`Add`, `Fix`, `Remove`, …).
- No trailing period on the subject. Aim for about 75 characters total.
- Body states the problem and why the change is right.
- One logical change per commit. Skip the body only when the subject alone
is obvious to a reviewer.
## Pull request description
- **What** — what changed
- **Why** — problem and impact
- **Test** — concrete steps a reviewer can run
Do not leave the description as “see commits”.
## Issues
Gitea closes issues when a bare issue reference appears in merge text.
Cite leftover issues by full URL. Only close an issue when the merge
actually finishes that work.
## License
License: see LICENSE if present; otherwise TBD by owner.
