+## Git commits conventions
+
+We're using [husky git hooks](https://www.npmjs.com/husky) in combination with [commitlint](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@commitlint/cli) according to <https://commitlint.js.org/concepts/commit-conventions.html#concept-commit-conventions>:
+
+```text
+type(scope?): subject
+body?
+footer?
+```
+
+[Type must be one of the following](https://commitlint.js.org/reference/rules.html#type-enum):
+- build
+- chore
+- ci
+– docs
+- feat
+- fix
+- perf
+- refactor
+- revert
+- style
+- test
+
+If you'd like to test your commit message previous to using it, you could test it on the command line:
+```shell
+echo 'foo: bar' | commitlint
+````
+
+## Code conventions
+
+The general code conventions are guaranteed by the following tools.
+
+### Through configuration files: `.editorconfig` for IDEs and `.gitattributes` for git checkins
+Both the [`.editorconfig`](https://editorconfig.org/) and [`.gitattributes`](https://dev.to/deadlybyte/please-add-gitattributes-to-your-git-repository-1jld) ensure a consistent code structure and conventions through their configurations.
+
+### prettier
+The [prettier](adr/code_style_formatter-prettier.adoc) tool provides a general code prettfying.
+
+## Linting
+
+### xo
+The [xo](adr/linting-xo.adoc) tool provides a general code linting mechanism.
