Good commit messages serve at least three important purposes:

• To speed up the reviewing process.
• To find out what changed in a range of commits (e.g. for a release note).
• To help the future maintainers, say five years into the future, to find out why a particular change was made to the code or why a specific feature was added.

Structure your commit message like this:

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

1. Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git
