-
-This is a loose set of "guidelines" for contributing to my projects.
-Please note that I will not accept any pull requests that don't follow
-these guidelines.
-
-Also consider the [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). No really,
-you should.
-
-## Before making a change
-
-Before making a change, consider your motivation for making the
-change. Documentation updates, bug fixes and the like are *always*
-welcome.
-
-When adding a feature you should consider whether it is only useful
-for your particular use-case or whether it is generally applicable for
-other users of the project.
-
-When in doubt - just ask me!
-
-## Commit messages
-
-All commit messages should follow the style-guide used by the [Angular
-project][]. This means for the most part that your commit message
-should be structured like this:
-
-```
-type(scope): Subject line with at most 68 a character length
-
-Body of the commit message with an empty line between subject and
-body. This text should explain what the change does and why it has
-been made, *especially* if it introduces a new feature.
-
-Relevant issues should be mentioned if they exist.
-```
-
-Where `type` can be one of:
-
-* `feat`: A new feature has been introduced
-* `fix`: An issue of some kind has been fixed
-* `docs`: Documentation or comments have been updated
-* `style`: Formatting changes only
-* `refactor`: Hopefully self-explanatory!
-* `test`: Added missing tests / fixed tests
-* `chore`: Maintenance work
-
-And `scope` should refer to some kind of logical grouping inside of
-the project.
-
-Please take a look at the existing commit log for examples.
-
-## Commit content
-
-Multiple changes should be divided into multiple git commits whenever
-possible. Common sense applies.
-
-The fix for a single-line whitespace issue is fine to include in a
-different commit. Introducing a new feature and refactoring
-(unrelated) code in the same commit is not fine.
-
-`git commit -a` is generally **taboo**.
-
-In my experience making "sane" commits becomes *significantly* easier
-as developer tooling is improved. The interface to `git` that I
-recommend is [magit][]. Even if you are not yet an Emacs user, it
-makes sense to install Emacs just to be able to use magit - it is
-really that good.
-
-For staging sane chunks on the command line with only git, consider
-`git add -p`.
-
-## Code quality
-
-This one should go without saying - but please ensure that your code
-quality does not fall below the rest of the project. This is of course
-very subjective, but as an example if you place code that throws away
-errors into a block in which errors are handled properly your change
-will be rejected.
-
-In my experience there is a strong correlation between the visual
-appearance of a code block and its quality. This is a simple way to
-sanity-check your work while squinting and keeping some distance from
-your screen ;-)
-
-## Builds & tests
-
-Most of my projects are built using [Nix][] to avoid "build pollution"
-via the user's environment. If you have Nix installed and are
-contributing to a project that has a `default.nix`, consider using
-`nix-build` to verify that builds work correctly.
-
-If the project has tests, check that they still work before submitting
-your change.
-
-Both of these will usually be covered by Travis CI.
