+## Commit conventions
+
+- Make sure you read about the [commit conventions](../CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-conventions) common to Nixpkgs as a whole.
+
+- Format the commit messages in the following way:
+
+ ```
+ lib.(section): (init | add additional argument | refactor | etc)
+
+ (Motivation for change. Additional information.)
+ ```
+
+ Examples:
+
+ * lib.getExe': check arguments
+ * lib.fileset: Add an additional argument in the design docs
+
+ Closes #264537
