@ -24,11 +24,11 @@ license is in use already - if it is, don't create another link to it.
Pretty self-explanatory, really. Numbers are considered to be higher-ordered
than anything else, and otherwise, lex order.
## Update the CHANGELOG.md ##
## Give a clear commit message ##
Follow the formatting there as an example. Make sure that you put entries in the
*past* tense - so you should have something like 'Fixed spelling errors in
license name', rather than 'Fix spelling errors in license name'.
The commit message should state clearly *what* you did (adding, removing,
clarifying, etc.), with *what* (usually by giving the name of the entry), in the
present continuous tense (i.e. 'adding' not 'added').
