```bash
# Create a new branch for development. The name of branch should be semantic, avoiding words like 'update' or 'tmp'. We suggest to use feature/xxx, if the modification is about to implement a new feature.
$ git checkout -b branch-name
# Run the test after you finish your modification. Add new test cases or change old ones if you feel necessary
$ npm test
# If your modification pass the tests, congradulations it's time to push your work back to us. Notice that the commit message should be wirtten in the following format.

### Commit Message Format
You are encouraged to use [angular commit-message-format](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-message-format) to write commit message. In this way, we could have a more trackable history and an automatically generated changelog.
```xml
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANKLINE>
<body>
<BLANKLINE>
<footer>
```
（1）type
Must be one of the following:
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- docs: Documentation-only changes
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- test: Adding missing tests
- chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
- deps: Updates about dependencies
（2）scope
The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change.
（3）subject
Use succinct words to describe what did you do in the commit change.
（4）body
Feel free to add more content in the body, if you think subject is not self-explanatory enough, such as what it is the purpose or reasons of you commit.
（5）footer
- **If the commit is a Breaking Change, please note it clearly in this part.**
- related issues, like `Closes #1, Closes #2, #3`
e.g.
```
fix($compile): [BREAKING_CHANGE] couple of unit tests for IE9
Older IEs serialize html uppercased, but IE9 does not...
Would be better to expect case insensitive, unfortunately jasmine does
- All new features will be added into `master` or `next` branch as well as all bug-fix except security issues. In such way, we can motivate developers to update to the latest stable version.
### Release Strategy
In the release of every stable version, there will be a PM who has the following responsibilities in different stages of the release.
#### Preparation
- Set up milestone. Confirm that request is related to milestone.
#### Before Release
- Confirm that performance test is passed and all issues in current Milestone are either closed or can be delayed to later versions.
- Open a new [Release Proposal MR], and write `History` as [node CHANGELOG]. Don't forget to correct content in documentation which is related to the releasing version. Commits can be generated automatically.
