refactor(spec): reorder specification sections for better flow
Move Git Best Practices from section 10 to section 5, placing it after Pull Requests and before Versioning. This positions best practices for commits, rebasing, and force-pushing earlier in the document where they are more relevant to daily development work. - Renumber sections 5-9 to 6-10 - Update cross-reference in section 7.2 (section 5.1 → 6.1) - Normalize "Long-term" to "Long-Term" for consistency

5. Git Best Practices
|
||||
1. It is RECOMMENDED that all commit messages follow the Conventional
|
||||
Commits specification (<https://www.conventionalcommits.org/>). This
|
||||
provides a structured format that integrates well with Semantic
|
||||
Versioning, and enables automated changelog generation. At minimum,
|
||||
commit messages SHOULD follow the Commit Guidelines from the official git
|
||||
documentation:
|
||||
<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project#_commit_guidelines>
|
||||
2. You SHOULD always use "--force-with-lease" when doing a force push. The
|
||||
regular "--force" option is dangerous and destructive. More information:
|
||||
<https://www.codestudy.net/blog/git-push-force-with-lease-vs-force/>
|
||||
3. You SHOULD understand and be comfortable with rebasing:
|
||||
<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing>
|
||||
4. It is RECOMMENDED that you always do "git pull --rebase" instead of "git
|
||||
pull" to avoid unnecessary merge commits. You can make this the default
|
||||
behavior of "git pull" with "git config --global pull.rebase true".
|
||||
5. When using Conventional Commits, it is RECOMMENDED to use tooling to
|
||||
automate version bumping and generate changelogs from commit messages.
|
||||
This pairs well with the release process and ensures changelogs are
|
||||
consistent and complete.

||||
6. Versioning
|
||||
1. A "version string" is a typically mostly numeric string that identifies a
|
||||
specific version of a project. The version string itself MUST NOT have a

"v" prefix, but the version string can be displayed with a "v" prefix.

Versioning (<http://semver.org/>).

7. Releases
|
||||
1. To create a new release, you MUST create a git tag named as the exact
|
||||
version string of the release. This kind of tag MUST be referred to as a
|
||||
"release tag".
|
||||
2. The release tag name can OPTIONALLY be prefixed with "v". For example,
|
||||
the tag name can be either "2.11.4" or "v2.11.4". Note that this "v"

||||
prefix is only for the tag name itself, the version string (as defined in
|
||||
section 5.1) MUST NOT have a "v" prefix.
|
||||
section 6.1) MUST NOT have a "v" prefix.
|
||||
3. If the version string is hard-coded into the code-base, you MUST create a
|
||||
"version bump" commit which changes the hard-coded version string of the

project.
