This +convention dovetails with SemVer, by describing the features, fixes, and +breaking changes made in commit messages. + +The commit message should be structured as follows: + +```text +[optional scope]: + +[optional body] + +[optional footer(s)] +``` + +The commit contains the following structural elements, to communicate intent to +the consumers of your library: + +- `fix`: a commit of the type fix patches a bug in your codebase (this + correlates with PATCH in Semantic Versioning). +- `feat`: a commit of the type feat introduces a new feature to the codebase + (this correlates with MINOR in Semantic Versioning). +- `BREAKING CHANGE`: a commit that has a footer `BREAKING CHANGE:`, or appends a + `!` after the type/scope, introduces a breaking API change (correlating with + MAJOR in Semantic Versioning). A BREAKING CHANGE can be part of commits of any + type. +- Types other than `fix:` and `feat:` are allowed.

A scope MUST consist of a noun + describing a section of the codebase surrounded by parenthesis, e.g., + `fix(parser):`. +- A description MUST immediately follow the colon and space after the type/scope + prefix. The description is a short summary of the code changes, e.g., + `fix: array parsing issue when multiple spaces were contained in string`. +- A longer commit body MAY be provided after the short description, providing + additional contextual information about the code changes. The body MUST begin + one blank line after the description. +- A commit body is free-form and MAY consist of any number of newline separated + paragraphs. +- One or more footers MAY be provided one blank line after the body. Each footer + MUST consist of a word token, followed by either a `:` or `#` + separator, followed by a string value (this is inspired by the git trailer + convention). +- A footer’s token MUST use `-` in place of whitespace characters, e.g., + `Acked-by` (this helps differentiate the footer section from a multi-paragraph + body). An exception is made for BREAKING CHANGE, which MAY also be used as a + token. +- A footer’s value MAY contain spaces and newlines, and parsing MUST terminate + when the next valid footer token/separator pair is observed. +- Breaking changes MUST be indicated in the type/scope prefix of a commit, or as + an entry in the footer. +- If included as a footer, a breaking change MUST consist of the uppercase text + BREAKING CHANGE, followed by a colon, space, and description, e.g., + `BREAKING CHANGE: environment variables now take precedence over config files`. +- If included in the type/scope prefix, breaking changes MUST be indicated by a + `!` immediately before the `:`. If `!` is used, BREAKING CHANGE MAY be omitted + from the footer section, and the commit description SHALL be used to describe + the breaking change. +- Types other than feat and fix MAY be used in your commit messages, e.g., + `docs: update ref docs`. +- The units of information that make up Conventional Commits MUST NOT be treated + as case-sensitive by implementors, with the exception of BREAKING CHANGE which + MUST be uppercase. +- BREAKING-CHANGE MUST be synonymous with BREAKING CHANGE, when used as a token + in a footer. + +## Why Use Conventional Commits + +- Automatically generating CHANGELOGs. +- Automatically determining a semantic version bump (based on the types of + commits landed). +- Communicating the nature of changes to teammates, the public, and other + stakeholders. +- Triggering build and publish processes. +- Making it easier for people to contribute to your projects, by allowing them + to explore a more structured commit history. + +## FAQ + +### How should I deal with commit messages in the initial development phase? + +We recommend that you proceed as if you’ve already released the product. +Typically somebody, even if it’s your fellow software developers, is using your +software. They’ll want to know what’s fixed, what breaks etc. + +### Are the types in the commit title uppercase or lowercase? + +Any casing may be used, but it’s best to be consistent. + +### What do I do if the commit conforms to more than one of the commit types? + +Go back and make multiple commits whenever possible. Part of the benefit of +Conventional Commits is its ability to drive us to make more organized commits +and PRs. + +### Doesn’t this discourage rapid development and fast iteration? + +It discourages moving fast in a disorganized way. It helps you be able to move +fast long term across multiple projects with varied contributors. + +### Might Conventional Commits lead developers to limit the type of commits + +they make because they’ll be thinking in the types provided? + +Conventional Commits encourages us to make more of certain types of commits such +as fixes. Other than that, the flexibility of Conventional Commits allows your +team to come up with their own types and change those types over time. + +### How does this relate to SemVer? + +fix type commits should be translated to PATCH releases. feat type commits +should be translated to MINOR releases. Commits with BREAKING CHANGE in the +commits, regardless of type, should be translated to MAJOR releases. + +### How should I version my extensions to the Conventional Commits + +Specification, e.g., @jameswomack/conventional-commit-spec? + +We recommend using SemVer to release your own extensions to the specification +(and encourage you to make these extensions!). + +### What do I do if I accidentally use the wrong commit type? + +When you used a type that’s of the spec but not the correct type, e.g., `fix` +instead of `feat`: prior to merging or releasing the mistake, we recommend using +`git rebase -i` to edit the commit history. After release, the cleanup will be +different according to what tools and processes you use. + +When you used a type not of the spec, e.g., `feet` instead of `feat`: in a worst +case scenario, it’s not the end of the world if a commit lands that does not +meet the Conventional Commits specification. It simply means that commit will be +missed by tools that are based on the spec. + +### Do all my contributors need to use the Conventional Commits specification? + +No! If you use a squash based workflow on Git, lead maintainers can clean up the +commit messages as they’re merged, adding no workload to casual committers. A +common workflow for this is to have your git system automatically squash commits +from a pull request and present a form for the lead maintainer to enter the +proper git commit message for the merge. + +### How does Conventional Commits handle revert commits? + +Reverting code can be complicated: are you reverting multiple commits? if you +revert a feature, should the next release instead be a patch? + +Conventional Commits does not make an explicit effort to define revert behavior. +Instead we leave it to tooling authors to use the flexibility of types and +footers to develop their logic for handling reverts. + +One recommendation is to use the `revert` type, and a footer that references the +commit SHAs that are being reverted: + +```text +revert: let us never again speak of the noodle incident + +Refs: 676104e, a215868 +``` + +## License + +Creative Commons - CC BY 3.0 diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore new file mode 100644 index 0000000..074653a --- /dev/null +++ b/.gitignore @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +# Build +build/ +out/ +*.o +*.obj +*.exe + +# OS / editor +.DS_Store +Thumbs.db diff --git a/.oxfmtrc.json b/.oxfmtrc.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2ce6e57 --- /dev/null +++ b/.oxfmtrc.json @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +{ + "ignorePatterns": ["node_modules", "dist", ".git"], + "overrides": [ + { + "files": ["*.md"], + "options": { + "printWidth": 80, + "proseWrap": "always" + } + } + ] +} diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2d0d3f --- /dev/null +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -0,0 +1,177 @@ +# AGENTS.md + +## Project Overview + +This repository holds the content for a C++ course: lecture material, exercises, +and runnable code examples.

If uncertain, ask. +- If multiple interpretations exist, present them, don't pick silently. +- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted. +- If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask. + +### 2. Simplicity First + +Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative. + +- No features beyond what was asked. +- No abstractions for single-use code. +- No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested. +- No error handling for impossible scenarios. +- If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it. + +Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, +simplify. + +### 3. Surgical Changes + +Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess. + +When editing existing code: + +- Don't "improve" adjacent code, comments, or formatting. +- Don't refactor things that aren't broken. +- Match existing style, even if you'd do it differently. +- If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it, don't delete it. + +When your changes create orphans: + +- Remove imports/variables/functions that YOUR changes made unused. +- Don't remove pre-existing dead code unless asked. + +Every changed line should trace directly to the user's request. + +### 4. Goal-Driven Execution + +Define success criteria. Loop until verified. + +Transform tasks into verifiable goals: + +- "Add validation" means: write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass. +- "Fix the bug" means: write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass. +- "Refactor X" means: ensure tests pass before and after. + +For multi-step tasks, state a brief plan: + +``` +1. [Step] → verify: [check] +2. [Step] → verify: [check] +3. [Step] → verify: [check] +``` + +Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it +work") require constant clarification. + +## Target Platforms + +The primary platform for building and running course examples is Linux. Keep +examples portable within that constraint unless a lesson specifically targets +another platform.
