When listing steps, don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it. For example, if you moved the cursor to the end of an input, explain if you used the mouse, or a keyboard.

## Coding with style
### Git Commit Messages
>Having a good guideline for creating commits and sticking to it makes working with Git and collaborating with others a lot easier.
Here are some rules of thumb :
* Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
* If you have a body, separate the subject from the body with a newline
* Limit the subject line to 72 characters
* Do not end the subject line with a period
* Use imperative [mood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_mood#English) in the subject line
* If the subject is not clear enough, use the body to explain what and why as opposed to how
* Consider starting the commit message with an applicable emoji, when you feel it's an important commit :
* :tada: When first / initial commit
* :sparkles: When introducing new features
* :ambulance: When fixing a bug
* :handshake: When merging files
* :tractor: When you changing file structure or refactoring
* :books: When writing docs
* :gem: When new Release
* :lipstick: For cosmetics purposes
#### Commit Message Format
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. The header has a special format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
```
<emoji> <type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
```
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
Where type can be :
* **feat**: A new feature
* **fix**: A bug fix
* **core**: Code for the Core
* **docs**: Documenting the code or writing new documentation
* **style**: Cosmetics purpose
* **test**: Adding missing or correcting tests
Examples:
```
:sparkles: feat(supann): Make supannRefId multivaluated
supannRefId on Structure object is too small and mono valued
close #5685
```
