Git commit

Helpful pre-commit commands:

Commit conventions

This project uses conventional commits based on the Angular convention.

Here is a commit template example:

type(module): description with some words PROJECT-XXX

Lowercase only, (module) is optional. Adding the project number at the end is recommended.

Here is the list of type to use (commons in bold):

  • docs
    • Do not use other than project docs itself concerns (like README file)
  • feat
    • Add new materials (page, sections, …)
  • fix
    • For instance, fix typos, images, …
  • refactor
    • In rare cases, for instance if you have to change folders structures.
  • revert
    • Oops case, if you want to redo previous history state
  • style
    • For simple format changes that are not content changes

Commit examples

feat(console): add vpc how-to page MTA-2342

fix(iot): wrong image in quickstart

style: add bold at scaleway name occurrences MTA-1337

Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.

Files with markdown content usually use the .md extension.

As we need to use evolved dynamic and designed blocks, for the Scaleway Documentation platform, the choice was to use the extended markdown format, with a special .mdx extension.

With MDX files traditional markdown content can be used with React components.

MDX components

MDX components are useful for adding rich content and interactions within your contributions.

Components

This section shows code details listed on a full page.

🔎 See the full Components page.

Feel free to explore this page in your markdown editor to see how the components were used, or in .mdx content files that already use MDX components.

Frontmatter

Any Markdown file that contains a YAML frontmatter block will be processed by Gatsby as a special file. The front matter must be the first thing in the file and must take the form of a valid YAML set between triple-dashed lines.

Here is a common example used in our .mdx files:

---
meta:
  title: How to create a Bare Metal server
  description: This page explains how to create a Bare Metal server
content:
  h1: Bare Metal server
  paragraph: This is a tutorial Bare Metal
hero: assets/scaleway-account.png
tags: compute baremetal bare metal cloud server dedicated
dates:
  validation: 2021-06-22
  posted: 2020-03-12
---

Here starts the content…
  • meta part is used for SEO title and description, it doesn't appear inside the website
  • content part which contains h1 and paragraph is used for title and description inside website pages.
  • h1 is used as H1 in pages, in the HTML head element as the browser tab title and for SEO.
  • paragraph is used in pages and in the head element for SEO.
  • image is used for the hero section image in tutorial pages. The image path can be relative to the file.
  • tags are used to help populate search result lists or pages top.
  • dates are shown on pages under titles. validation must be a date later than the posted. Its format should be AAAA-MM-DD.
