Everything related to making the experience of working on SciPy more pleasant
This is a note-to-self to update http://scipy.github.io/devdocs/dev/contributor/development_workflow.html#writing-the-commit-message. A few points:
"See #XXXX", "See ticket XXXX", "Closes #XXXX", or similar" is actually an anti-pattern (at least in some opinions), as it can clutter the linked issue. 'Closes ...' belongs in the PR description, rather than in every commit, IMO. It should only really be included in the extended description if it significantly improves it.
ENH: stats.circmean: ...
orMAINT: fft: ...
. This doesn't need to be enclosed in backticks.ENH: add functionality X to SciPy.<submodule>.
, is not great, IMO. There is no need to includeSciPy
in the commit message - that's a given.This may include updating the PR description template.
