## Git commit rules
This section refers to contributors that have Git push access and make commit
changes themselves. We'll assume you're basically familiar with Git, but feel
free to post your questions on the mailing list. Please have a look at the more
detailed [information on Git](https://git-scm.com/).
PHP is developed through the efforts of a large number of people. Collaboration
is a Good Thing(tm), and Git lets us do this. Thus, following some basic rules
with regards to Git usage will:
* Make everybody happier, especially those responsible for maintaining PHP
itself.
* Keep the changes consistently well documented and easily trackable.
* Prevent some of those 'Oops' moments.
* Increase the general level of good will on planet Earth.
Having said that, here are the organizational rules:
1. Respect other people working on the project.
2. Discuss any significant changes on the list before committing and get
confirmation from the release manager for the given branch.
3. Look at [EXTENSIONS](/EXTENSIONS) file to see who is the primary maintainer
of the code you want to contribute to.
4. If you "strongly disagree" about something another person did, don't start
fighting publicly - take it up in private email.
5. If you don't know how to do something, ask first!
6. Test your changes before committing them. We mean it. Really. To do so use
`make test`.
7. For development use the `--enable-debug` switch to avoid memory leaks and the
`--enable-zts` switch to ensure your code handles TSRM correctly and doesn't
break for those who need that.
Currently we have the following branches in use:
| Branch | |
| --------- | --------- |
| master | Active development branch for PHP 8.0, which is open for backwards incompatible changes and major internal API changes. |
| PHP-7.4 | Active development branch for PHP 7.4, which is open for new features and minor internal API changes. |
| PHP-7.3 | Is used to release the PHP 7.3.x series. This is a current stable version and is open for bugfixes only. |
| PHP-7.2 | Is used to release the PHP 7.2.x series. This is a current stable version and is open for bugfixes only. |
| PHP-7.1 | Is used to release the PHP 7.1.x series. This is an old stable version and is open for security fixes only. |
| PHP-7.0 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.6 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.5 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.4 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.3 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.2 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-5.1 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-4.4 | This branch is closed. |
| PHP-X.Y.Z | These branches are used for the release managers for tagging the releases, hence they are closed to the general public. |
The next few rules are more of a technical nature:
1. All non-security bugfix changes should first go to the lowest bugfix branch
(i.e. 7.2) and then get merged up to all other branches. All security fixes
should go to the lowest security fixes branch (i.e 7.1). If a change is not
needed for later branches (i.e. fixes for features which were dropped from
later branches) an empty merge should be done.
2. All news updates intended for public viewing, such as new features, bug
fixes, improvements, etc., should go into the NEWS file of *any stable
release* version with the given change. In other words, news about a bug fix
which went into PHP-5.4, PHP-5.5 and master should be noted in both
PHP-5.4/NEWS and PHP-5.5/NEWS but not master, which is not a public released
version yet.
3. Do not commit multiple files and dump all messages in one commit. If you
modified several unrelated files, commit each group separately and provide a
nice commit message for each one. See example below.
4. Do write your commit message in such a way that it makes sense even without
the corresponding diff. One should be able to look at it, and immediately
know what was modified. Definitely include the function name in the message
as shown below.
5. In your commit messages, keep each line shorter than 80 characters. And try
to align your lines vertically, if they wrap. It looks bad otherwise.
6. If you modified a function that is callable from PHP, prepend PHP to the
function name as shown below.
The format of the commit messages is pretty simple.
<max 79 characters short description>\n
\n
<long description, 79 chars per line>
\n
An Example from the git project (commit 2b34e486bc):
pack-objects: Fix compilation with NO_PTHREDS
It looks like commit 99fb6e04 (pack-objects: convert to use parse_options(),
2012-02-01) moved the #ifdef NO_PTHREDS around but hasn't noticed that the
'arg' variable no longer is available.
If you fix some bugs, you should note the bug ID numbers in your commit message.
Bug ID should be prefixed by `#`.
Example:
Fixed bug #14016 (pgsql notice handler double free crash bug.)
When you change the NEWS file for a bug fix, then please keep the bugs sorted in
decreasing order under the fixed version.
You can use [gitweb](https://git.php.net/) to look at PHP Git repository in
various ways.
Thank you for contributing to PHP!

If you fix some bugs, you should note the bug ID numbers in your
commit message. Bug ID should be prefixed by "#" for easier access to
bug report when developers are browsing CVS via LXR or Bonsai.
Example:
Fixed bug #14016 (pgsql notice handler double free crash bug.)
When you change the NEWS file for a bug fix, then please keep the bugs
sorted in decreasing order under the fixed version.
You can use OpenGrok (http://lxr.php.net/) and gitweb (http://git.php.net/)
to look at PHP Git repository in various ways.
