Storj-style Git commits with Aider

Configure Aider to follow Storj Labs' commit message conventions: scope-prefixed messages in the format `{scope}: {message}` (e.g., `satellite/metainfo: add validation`) with no AI attribution in commit metadata.

What this does

Instructions

When using this Aider configuration:

1. **Commit message format**: All commits must follow the pattern `{scope}: {message}` where:

- `{scope}` is the component/module being modified (e.g., `satellite/metainfo`, `storagenode/orders`, `uplink/backcomp`)

- `{message}` is a concise description of the change in imperative mood

- Example: `satellite/metainfo: add validation for segment limits`

2. **No AI attribution**: Never add AI-related metadata to commits:

- No "Co-authored-by: AI Assistant" lines

- No AI committer information

- No additional attribution lines

- Keep commits as if written by a human developer

3. **Gitignore handling**: Respect `.gitignore` patterns - do not disable gitignore filtering

4. **Attribute committer**: Do not override the original committer identity

Usage

Create a `.aider.conf.yml` file in your project root:

```yaml

gitignore: false

attribute-committer: false

commit-prompt: "Commit style: `{scope}: {message}` format (e.g., `satellite/metainfo: add validation`). Never add AI attribution (author, committer or other additional lines) to the commit."

```

Then run Aider normally - it will automatically use these settings.

Example commits

```

satellite/metainfo: add validation for segment limits

storagenode/orders: fix settlement calculation

uplink/backcomp: remove deprecated methods

web/satellite: update billing page layout

```
