Storj Development Commit Style

Configuration for Aider when working on Storj v3 — decentralized cloud object storage platform that is affordable, easy to use, private, and secure.

Instructions

When working on the Storj codebase with Aider, follow these commit conventions:

1. **Commit Message Format**: Use `{scope}: {message}` format where scope indicates the component/package being modified (e.g., `satellite/metainfo: add validation`, `storagenode/orders: fix settlement calculation`)

2. **No AI Attribution**: Never add AI attribution in author, committer, or commit message footer lines. Keep commits clean and human-attributed.

3. **Track All Changes**: Include `.gitignore` files in version control (`gitignore: false` setting)

4. **Human Committer**: Do not modify committer information (`attribute-committer: false` setting)

5. **Common Scopes**: Use appropriate component scopes like:

- `satellite/*` — satellite service components

- `storagenode/*` — storage node components

- `uplink/*` — uplink client

- `private/*` — internal packages

- `cmd/*` — command-line tools

- `web/*` — web interfaces
