## Guidelines
@ -21,33 +23,35 @@ While we try to keep requirements for contributing to a minimum, there are a few
we ask that you mind.
For code contributions, these guidelines include:
* respect the project code style - find templates for [IntelliJ IDEA](https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/intellij-idea/) or [Eclipse](https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/eclipse-ide/)
* have a corresponding JIRA issue and the key for this JIRA issue should be used in the commit message
* have a set of appropriate tests. For bug reports, the tests reproduce the initial reported bug
and illustrate that the solution actually fixes the bug. For features/enhancements, the
tests illustrate the feature working as intended. In both cases the tests are incorporated into
the project to protect against regressions
* if applicable, documentation is updated to reflect the introduced changes
* the code compiles and the tests pass (`./gradlew clean build`)
* Respect the project code style - find templates for [IntelliJ IDEA](https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/intellij-idea/) or [Eclipse](https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/eclipse-ide/)
* Have a corresponding JIRA [issue](https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH) and be sure to include the key for this JIRA issue in your commit messages.
* Have a set of appropriate tests.
For your convenience, a [set of test templates](https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-test-case-templates/tree/main/orm) have been made available.
When submitting bug reports, the tests should reproduce the initially reported bug and illustrate that your solution addresses the issue.
For features/enhancements, the tests should demonstrated that the feature works as intended.
In both cases, be sure to incorporate your tests into the project to protect against possible regressions.

Create a [topic branch](https://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Branching-Workflows#Topic-Branches)

although this is more of a mnemonic strategy than a hard-and-fast rule - but doing so helps:
