General Guidelines

• No code is committed that is not 100% understood by the author.

• A change is always reviewed by another developer. A change is locally tested before it is pushed to GitLab.

• The reviewer should also understand the code and not blindly trust it. You can also assign part of the review to someone else (e.g. styling adjustments).

• If multiple independent changes are done they should be separately committed.

• There is an editorconfig to maintain a consistent code layout. It defines the file encoding, linebreaks, indentation and trailing whitespaces.

• The file encoding is always UTF-8.

• Code and comments should be always in American English.

• Do not comment out unused code. The version control system tracks the changes.
