 * Commits should be as small as possible, while ensuring that each commit is correct independently (i.e., each commit should compile and pass tests).
 
+* Commits messages have to adhere to the [conventional commits specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary).
+
+* If multiple commits address independent things, use multiple PRs - avoid creating one PR that fix two or more things.
