## The Seven Rules of a Great git Commit Message
Simple guidelines for better commit messages [source](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)

- The seven rules of a great git commit message
- Keep in mind: This has all been said before.
- Separate subject from body with a blank line
- Limit the subject line to 50 characters
- Capitalize the subject line
- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Use the imperative mood in the subject line
- Wrap the body at 72 characters
- Use the body to explain what and why vs. how

## Pull Request Process

* Verify that your branch passes all tests locally (`npm test`).

* Update README.md with details of any changes to install instructions or
  dependencies.

* For non-trivial changes, a version update maybe required. Please note this in your Pull Request so it can be discussed. A version change will require updates in the following files:

    - `package.json`
    - `bower.json`
    - `bin/bouttime-server`

* Pull Requests must pass several checks before merging. At this moment, that
  requires passing tests, adhering to the style guide, and getting code review
  approval.
