Contributing

1. Default Branch Name

Use master as root branch name.

2. Initial Commit

Initialize repository and it's first commit without any content included:

git commit --allow-empty -m "init"

3. Conventional Commits

Use the Conventional Commits specification for commit messages. Examples:

• feat(cli): add a new cli feature
• fix(parser): resolve a bug
• docs: update documentation
• chore: general maintenance or tooling changes

Clear commit messages make the history easier to read and improve collaboration.

Additionaly, consider making more smaller commits than one bigger.

4. Semantic Versioning

Adhere to Semantic Versioning (SemVer) for project versioning:

• MAJOR: Breaking changes
• MINOR: New features, backward compatible
• PATCH: Bug fixes, backward compatible

Proper versioning ensures users and contributors understand the impact of updates.
