# Commit Message Style (Repository Preference)

This repo uses a specific SVN commit-message format. Please follow it exactly when writing commit messages.

Format:

-(#<task#>) Short task title, from Kanboard. (optional continuation tag)
  + Use `+` for each sub-point — do NOT convert `+` to bullet points

Example:

-(#3013) Data Export - Implement Data Export API - BE (Cont.)
  + Removed matType from all API responses, docs, and tests
  + Fixed /records endpoint legacy data authorization

Rationale:
- Keeps commit messages consistent and machine-readable for release notes and cross-referencing.
- The `+` sub-points are intentionally preserved; do not replace them with bullet characters.
