commit message style.

# Contributing to EOS
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
The `EOS` project is in early development, therefore we encourage contribution in the following ways:
## Documentation
Latest development documentation can be found at [Akkudoktor-EOS](https://akkudoktor-eos.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
## Bug Reports
Please report flaws or vulnerabilities in the [GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS/issues) using the corresponding issue template.
## Ideas & Features
Please first discuss the idea in a [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS/discussions) or the [Akkudoktor Forum](https://www.akkudoktor.net/forum/diy-energie-optimierungssystem-opensource-projekt/) before opening an issue.
There are just too many possibilities and the project would drown in tickets otherwise.
## Code Contributions
We welcome code contributions and bug fixes via [Pull Requests](https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS/pulls).
To make collaboration easier, we require pull requests to pass code style, unit tests, and commit
message style checks.
### Setup development environment
Setup virtual environment, then activate virtual environment and install development dependencies.
See also [README.md](README.md).
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pip install -e .
```
Install make to get access to helpful shortcuts (documentation generation, manual formatting, etc.).
- On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
```bash
sudo apt install make
```
- On MacOS (requires [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)):
```zsh
brew install make
```
The server can be started with `make run`. A full overview of the main shortcuts is given by `make help`.
### Code Style
Our code style checks use [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com).
To run formatting automatically before every commit:
```bash
pre-commit install
pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
```
Or run them manually:
```bash
pre-commit run --all-files
```
### Tests
Use `pytest` to run tests locally:
```bash
python -m pytest -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing tests/
```
### Commit message style
Our commit message checks use [`gitlint`](https://github.com/jorisroovers/gitlint). The checks
enforce the [`Conventional Commits`](https://www.conventionalcommits.org) commit message style.
