Pull request advice

This is just a collection of links that people submitting pull requests to OpenHatch code might find helpful.

• We value of the quality of git commit log messages. Two great reads on that topic are:
  • A note about git commit messages describes the technical details: 50 char summary, and so on.
  • How to write without writing describes why writing is such an important skill for programmers.

• We try to only add code when we can think of a reason we need it. See "You Ain't Gonna Need it", documented e.g. on Wikipedia.
