Commit Guidelines
Commits should fall into one of 3 areas:
[Feature] Commits which are features should start with '[Feature]' and followed by a quick summary on the top line, followed by some extra details in the commit body.
[Fix] Commits which fix bugs, or minor improvements to existing features should start with '[Fix]' and followed by a quick summary on the top line, followed by some extra details in the commit body.
Commits which fix bugs caused by previous commits (since last release), or otherwise make no functionality changes, should have no prefix. These will not be added to the project change log.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
