-# Keep each commit line under 50 characters
-# Following conventional commits 1.0.0

-# Use the prefix naming convention:
-# fix: A bug fix. Correlates with PATCH in SemVer
-# feat: A new feature. Correlates with MINOR in SemVer
-# 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 or correcting existing tests
-# build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: pip, docker, npm)
-# ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: GitLabCI)
-#
-# For full specification check: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
-#
-# Commits should follow the format below:
-#
-# [Title]
-# <type>: In under 50 characters, description of the commit
-#
-# [Body]
-# Explain in detail what was done in this commit and
-# what this is supposed to achieve. Keep this section
-# under 72 characters per line.

-  * Pass some system properties provided on the gradle command line to test executions for

-  * The properties passed are:
-  * - 'test.ethereum.include': allows to run a single Ethereum reference tests. For instance,
-  *   running a single general state test can be done with:
-  *    ./gradlew :ethereum:tech.pegasys.ethsigner.ethereum.vm:test -Dtest.single=GeneralStateTest -Dtest.ethereum.include=callcodecallcallcode_101-Frontier
-  *   The meaning being that will be run only the tests for which the value passed as "include"
-  *   (which can be a java pattern) matches parts of the test name. Knowing that tests names for
-  *   reference tests are of the form:
-  *     <name>(-<milestone>([<variant>])?)?
-  *   where <name> is the test name as defined in the json file (usually the name of the json file
-  *   as well), <milestone> is the Ethereum milestone tested (not all test use it) and <variant>
-  *   is only use in some general state tests where for the same json file and same milestone,
-  *   multiple variant of that test are run. The variant is a simple number.
-  * - 'root.log.level' and 'evm.log.level': allow to control the log level used during the tests.
