File contents

Sentry Commit Messages

Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

The header is required. Scope is optional. All lines must stay under 100 characters.

Commit Types

Type	Purpose
`feat`	New feature
`fix`	Bug fix
`ref`	Refactoring (no behavior change)
`perf`	Performance improvement
`docs`	Documentation only
`test`	Test additions or corrections
`build`	Build system or dependencies
`ci`	CI configuration
`chore`	Maintenance tasks
`style`	Code formatting (no logic change)
`meta`	Repository metadata
`license`	License changes

Subject Line Rules

Use imperative, present tense: "Add feature" not "Added feature"
Capitalize the first letter
No period at the end
Maximum 70 characters

Body Guidelines

Explain what and why, not how
Use imperative mood and present tense
Include motivation for the change
Contrast with previous behavior when relevant

Footer: Issue References

Reference issues in the footer using these patterns:

Fixes GH-1234
Fixes #1234
Fixes SENTRY-1234
Refs LINEAR-ABC-123

Fixes closes the issue when merged
Refs links without closing

Examples

Simple fix

fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint

The user API could return null for deleted accounts, causing a crash
in the dashboard. Add null check before accessing user properties.

Fixes SENTRY-5678

Feature with scope

feat(alerts): Add Slack thread replies for alert updates

When an alert is updated or resolved, post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped together.

Refs GH-1234

Refactor

ref: Extract common validation logic to shared module

Move duplicate validation code from three endpoints into a shared
validator class. No behavior change.

Breaking change

feat(api)!: Remove deprecated v1 endpoints

Remove all v1 API endpoints that were deprecated in version 23.1.
Clients should migrate to v2 endpoints.

BREAKING CHANGE: v1 endpoints no longer available
Fixes SENTRY-9999

Revert Format

revert: feat(api): Add new endpoint

This reverts commit abc123def456.

Reason: Caused performance regression in production.

Principles

Each commit should be a single, stable change
Commits should be independently reviewable
The repository should be in a working state after each commit
