+against both the latest stable release and the latest dev snapshot for the next
+Godot release.

+If you run into a bug which wasn't present in an earlier Godot version (what we

+### Be mindful of your commits
+
+Try to make simple PRs that handle one specific topic. Just like for reporting
+issues, it's better to open 3 different PRs that each address a different issue
+than one big PR with three commits. This makes it easier to review, approve, and
+merge the changes independently.
+
+When updating your fork with upstream changes, please use ``git pull --rebase``
+to avoid creating "merge commits". Those commits unnecessarily pollute the git
+history when coming from PRs.
+
+Also try to make commits that bring the engine from one stable state to another
+stable state, i.e. if your first commit has a bug that you fixed in the second
+commit, try to merge them together before making your pull request. This
+includes fixing build issues or typos, adding documentation, etc.
+
+See our [PR workflow](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/contributing/workflow/pr_workflow.html)
+documentation for tips on using Git, amending commits and rebasing branches.
+
+This [Git style guide](https://github.com/agis-/git-style-guide) also has some
+good practices to have in mind.
+
+### Format your commit messages with readability in mind
+
+The way you format your commit messages is quite important to ensure that the
+commit history and changelog will be easy to read and understand. A Git commit
+message is formatted as a short title (first line) and an extended description
+(everything after the first line and an empty separation line).
+
+The short title is the most important part, as it is what will appear in the
+changelog or in the GitHub interface unless you click the "expand" button.
+Try to keep that first line under 72 characters, but you can go slightly above
+if necessary to keep the sentence clear.
+
+It should be written in English, starting with a capital letter, and usually
+with a verb in imperative form. A typical bugfix would start with "Fix", while
+the addition of a new feature would start with "Add". A prefix can be added to
+specify the engine area affected by the commit. Some examples:
+
+- Add C# iOS support
+- Show doc tooltips when hovering properties in the theme editor
+- Fix GLES3 instanced rendering color and custom data defaults
+- Core: Fix `Object::has_method()` for script static methods
+
+If your commit fixes a reported issue, please include it in the _description_
+of the commit (not in the title) using one of the
+[GitHub closing keywords](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue)
+such as "Fixes #1234". This will cause the issue to be closed automatically if
+the PR is merged.
+
+Here's an example of a well-formatted commit message (note how the extended
+description is also manually wrapped at 80 chars for readability):
+
+```text
+Prevent French fries carbonization by fixing heat regulation
+
+When using the French fries frying module, Godot would not regulate the heat
+and thus bring the oil bath to supercritical liquid conditions, thus causing
+unwanted side effects in the physics engine.
+
+By fixing the regulation system via an added binding to the internal feature,
+this commit now ensures that Godot will not go past the ebullition temperature
+of cooking oil under normal atmospheric conditions.
+
+Fixes #1340.

+feature, *please* edit the commit title to something meaningful. Commits named

-The ETC1 compressor uses modified cluster fit:
-
-Assume that there exists an ideal base color and set of selectors for a given table.
-For a given table and set of selectors, the ideal base color can be determined by subtracting the offsets from each pixel and averaging them.
-Doing that is equivalent to subtracting the average offset from the average color.
-Because positive and negative selectors of the same magnitude cancel out, the search space of possible average offsets is reduced: 57 unique offsets for the first table and 81 for the others.
-Most of the offsets result in the same color as another average offset due to quantization of the base color, so those can be de-duplicated.
-So:
-- Start with a high-precision average color.
-- Apply precomputed luma offsets to it.
-- Quantize and de-duplicate the base colors.
-- Find the ideal selectors for each base color.
-
-Differential mode is solved by just finding the best legal combination from those attempts.
-
-There are several scenarios where this is not ideal:
-- Clamping behavior can sometimes be leveraged for a more accurate block.
-- Differentials can sometimes be moved slightly closer to become legal.
-- This only works when MSE is the error metric (i.e. not normal maps)
-- This only works when pixel weights are of equal importance (i.e. not using weight by alpha or edge deblocking)
-
-T and H mode just work by generating clustering assignments by computing a chrominance line and splitting the block in half by the chrominance midpoint and using those to determine the averages.
-
-Planar mode is just solved algebraically.
-
-If you want to emulate etc2comp's default settings, add the flag ETC_UseFakeBT709 to use its modified Rec. 709 error coefficients.
-Doing that will significantly slow down encoding because it requires much more complicated quantization math.
