+## Committing
+
+### When to commit?
+
+Whenever you commit make sure your commit is related to one feature or change, don't commit multiple unrelated things at once.
+You don't **have** to commit every 5 minutes, only commit whenever you've got a working code base with a finished feature.
+
+### What sort of commit message should I use?
+
+If you're committing a new feature or change something existing to act differently use the following syntax:
+```
+feat(subject): Added new method of destroying children
+```
+
+If your commit is related to fixing an issue:
+```
+fix(subject): Fixed issue related to children multiplying endlessly
+
+Closes #1337 <-- mention a related issue to automatically close it when making this commit
+```
+
+#### Other Types
+
+Aside from `feat` and `fix`, you can also use the following types `build`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor` and `test` whenever you deem these more useful in the context.
+
+## Code Style
+
+1. Be consistent
+2. Use 4 spaces for tab indentation, don't ever use HARD tabs
+
+### Brackets
+
+```cpp
+for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
+{
+  //code here;
+}
+```
+
+### Distinction between related code
+
+Create a clear line of separation between lines, don't just put everything right next each other.
+
+How not to do it:
+```cpp
+void foo() {
+  int x = fribbery;
+  y.attack(frabbet(x));
+  z.attack(frobbet(x));
+  bejooger[0].scramboozle(y);
+  bejooger[1].scramboozle(y);
+  bejooger[2].scramboozle(z);
+  bejooger[3].scramboozle(z);
+  if (curdleblogpod.getAlive() <= 5) {
+    //Yikes! 
+  }
+}
+```
+
+How you should do it:
+```cpp
+void foo() {
+
+  //Start the attack on the fribs.
+  int x = fribbery;
+  y.attack(frabbet(x));
+  z.attack(frobbet(x));
+  
+  //Now send the bejoogers out...
+  bejooger[0].scramboozle(y);
+  bejooger[1].scramboozle(y);
+  bejooger[2].scramboozle(z);
+  bejooger[3].scramboozle(z);
+
+  //Make sure the curdleblogs are still alive.
+  if (curdleblogpod.getAlive() <= 5) {
+    //Yikes! 
+  }
+}
+```
