# rusty-petroleum Project Guidelines

## Git Commit Style
- Make small, focused commits while working
- Commit changes incrementally to make history easier to follow
- Each commit should represent a single logical change
- Write clear, concise commit messages describing what changed

## Issue Management
- Use Gitea REST API to close issues when fixing them:
  ```bash
  curl -X PATCH https://gitea.rowanbrook.net/api/v1/repos/jakob/rusty-petroleum/issues/{issue_number} \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
    -d '{"state": "closed"}'
  ```
- Or suggest closing issues on Gitea web UI when automatic closing via API is not configured
