- To contribute language translations, do not make pull requests. Instead, use crowdin. Read here for more information: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-contribute-translations-for-obs.16327/
- OBS Studio uses kernel normal form (linux variant), for more information, please read here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst
- Avoid trailing spaces. To view trailing spaces before making a commit, use "git diff" on your changes. If colors are enabled for git in the command prompt, it will show you any whitespace issues marked with red.
- Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. Tabs are treated as 8 columns wide.
- 80 columns max
OBS Studio uses the 50/72 standard for commits. 50 characters max for the title (excluding module prefix), an empty line, and then a full description of the commit, wrapped to 72 columns max. See this link for more information: http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
Make sure commit titles are always in present tense, and are not followed by punctuation.
Prefix each commit's titles with the module name, followed by a colon and a space (unless modifying a file in the base directory). After that, the first word should be capitalized.
So for example, if you are modifying the obs-ffmpeg plugin:
obs-ffmpeg: Fix bug with audio outputOr for libobs:
libobs: Fix source not displayingNote: When modifying cmake modules, just prefix with "cmake".
If you still need examples, please view the commit history.
