# PR Title Convention
|
||
|
||
We have very precise rules over how Pull Requests (to the `master` branch) must be formatted. This format basically follows the [Angular Commit Message Convention](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit). It leads to easier to read commit history and allows for automated generation of release notes:
|
||
|
||
A PR title consists of these elements:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
<type>(<scope>): <summary>
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ └─⫸ Summary: In imperative present tense.
|
||
| | Capitalized
|
||
| | No period at the end.
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ └─⫸ Scope: API|core|editor|* Node
|
||
│
|
||
└─⫸ Type: build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|test
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- PR title
|
||
- type
|
||
- scope (*optional*)
|
||
- summary
|
||
- PR description
|
||
- body (optional)
|
||
- blank line
|
||
- footer (optional)
|
||
|
||
The structure looks like this:
|
||
|
||
### **Type**
|
||
|
||
Must be one of the following:
|
||
|
||
- `feat` - A new feature
|
||
- `fix` - A bug fix
|
||
- `perf` - A code change that improves performance
|
||
- `test` - Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
|
||
- `docs` - Documentation only changes
|
||
- `refactor` - A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
|
||
- `build` - Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
|
||
- `ci` - Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (e.g. Github actions)
|
||
|
||
If the prefix is `feat`, `fix` or `perf`, it will appear in the changelog. However if there is any BREAKING CHANGE (see Footer section below), the commit will always appear in the changelog.
|
||
|
||
### **Scope (optional)**
|
||
|
||
The scope should specify the place of the commit change as long as the commit clearly addresses one of the following supported scopes. (Otherwise, omit the scope!)
|
||
|
||
- `API` - changes to the *public* API
|
||
- `core` - changes to the core / private API / backend of n8n
|
||
- `editor` - changes to the Editor UI
|
||
- `* Node` - changes to a specific node or trigger node (”`*`” to be replaced with the node name, not its display name), e.g.
|
||
- mattermost → Mattermost Node
|
||
- microsoftToDo → Microsoft To Do Node
|
||
- n8n → n8n Node
|
||
|
||
### **Summary**
|
||
|
||
The summary contains succinct description of the change:
|
||
|
||
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
|
||
- capitalize the first letter
|
||
- *no* dot (.) at the end
|
||
- do *not* include Linear ticket IDs etc. (e.g. N8N-1234)
|
||
- suffix with “(no-changelog)” for commits / PRs that should not get mentioned in the changelog.
|
||
|
||
### **Body (optional)**
|
||
|
||
Just as in the **summary**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
|
||
|
||
### **Footer (optional)**
|
||
|
||
The footer can contain information about breaking changes and deprecations and is also the place to [reference GitHub issues](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue-using-a-keyword), Linear tickets, and other PRs that this commit closes or is related to. For example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
BREAKING CHANGE: <breaking change summary>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
<breaking change description + migration instructions>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
Fixes #<issue number>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
DEPRECATED: <what is deprecated>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
<deprecation description + recommended update path>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
<BLANK LINE>
|
||
Closes #<pr number>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A Breaking Change section should start with the phrase "`BREAKING CHANGE:` " followed by a summary of the breaking change, a blank line, and a detailed description of the breaking change that also includes migration instructions.
|
||
|
||
> 💡 A breaking change can additionally also be marked by adding a “`!`” to the header, right before the “`:`”, e.g. `feat(editor)!: Remove support for dark mode`
|
||
>
|
||
> This makes locating breaking changes easier when just skimming through commit messages.
|
||
|
||
> 💡 The breaking changes must also be added to the [packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md) file located in the n8n repository.
|
||
|
||
Similarly, a Deprecation section should start with "`DEPRECATED:` " followed by a short description of what is deprecated, a blank line, and a detailed description of the deprecation that also mentions the recommended update path.
|
||
|
||
### **Revert commits**
|
||
|
||
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert:` , followed by the header of the reverted commit.
|
||
|
||
The content of the commit message body should contain:
|
||
|
||
- information about the SHA of the commit being reverted in the following format: `This reverts commit <SHA>`,
|
||
- a clear description of the reason for reverting the commit message. |
