We no longer *require* a merge request URL in commit messages, we ban them (since Marge is kind enough to add them for us). While at it, add a small section on prefixes (~~stolen from~~ inspired by mutter). Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2572>

# GNOME Shell
|
|
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop,
|
|
like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes
|
|
advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces
|
|
innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and
|
|
easy to use experience.
|
|
|
|
For more information about GNOME Shell, including instructions on how
|
|
to build GNOME Shell from source and how to get involved with the project,
|
|
see the [project wiki][project-wiki].
|
|
|
|
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME [bug tracking system][bug-tracker].
|
|
Please refer to the [*Schedule* wiki page][schedule] to see the supported versions.
|

|
## Contributing
|
|
|
|
To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.
|
|
|
|
Commit messages should follow the [GNOME commit message
|
|
guidelines](https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/CommitMessages). If a merge request
|
|
fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL
|
|
to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant
|
|
topic, such as `panel:` or `status/network:`, and it's always better to write
|
|
too much in the commit message body than too little.
|
|
|
|
## Default branch
|
|
|
|
The default development branch is `main`. If you still have a local
|
|
checkout under the old name, use:
|
|
```sh
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git branch -m master main
|
|
git fetch
|
|
git branch --unset-upstream
|
|
git branch -u origin/main
|
|
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
|
|
```
