+### Git Ways of Working
+
+The project uses feature branches, and a [rebase merge strategy](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/merging-vs-rebasing).
+
+Make sure you have `git pull` set to rebase mode:
+
+`git config pull.rebase true`
+
+Optionally, you can add the `--global` flag to the above command.
+
+To start working on a new feature: `git checkout -b <feature branch name>`.
+
+This project uses [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary).

+
+Read [How to Write a Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
+
+A commit should:
+
+- contain a single change set (smaller commits are better)
+- pass tests, linting, and typescript checks
+- not be broken
+
+Along with enabling time saving automation, it enables extremely powerful debug workflows via [git bisect](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect), making bug hunting a matter of minutes. There are a number of articles out there on the magic of bisecting.
+
+Basic structure of a commit message:
+
+```
+<type>[optional scope]: <title starting with verb in infinitive>
+
+[optional body]
+
+[optional footer]
+```
+
+Try to describe what was added or changed, instead of describing what the code does. Example:
+
+`fix(seek): rewrite calculation in seek module` `// bad, the consumer does not know what issue this fixes`
+
+`fix(seek): stop player from freezing after seek` `// good, the consumer understands what is now working again`
