@ -200,6 +200,20 @@ Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
## Merge Strategy
We use the commit history of develop/master extensively to identify
when regressions were introduced and what changes have been made.
We aim to have a clean merge history, which means we normally squash-merge
changes into develop. For small changes this means there is no need to rebase
to clean up your PR before merging. Larger changes with an organised set of
commits may be merged as-is, if the history is judged to be useful.
This use of squash-merging will mean PRs built on each other will be hard to
merge. We suggest avoiding these where possible, and if required, ensuring
each PR has a tidy set of commits to ease merging.
## Conclusion
That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
