Style

• Create commits as needed while working, but before merging to master, squash your commits down to the minimum number that makes sense (a single commit if it’s reasonable, or a few).
• Except for minor changes, give each a commit message that has a title AND a body, where you explain why the change was necessary and what your approach was (unless self-explanatory from the code).
• Add a link to the Pivotal ticket somewhere in the pull request description.
• Add any relevant labels to your pull request.
