# Saved Responses for Angular's Issue Tracker

This doc collects canned responses that the Angular team can use to close issues that fall into the
listed resolution categories.

Since GitHub currently doesn't allow us to have a repository-wide or organization-wide list
of [saved replies](https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-saved-replies/), these replies need
to be maintained by individual team members. Since the responses can be modified in the future, all
responses are versioned to simplify the process of keeping the responses up to date.

## Angular: Support Request (v1)

```
Hello, we reviewed this issue and determined that it doesn't fall into the bug report or feature request category. This issue tracker is not suitable for support requests, please repost your issue on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/) using tag `angular`.

If you are wondering why we don't resolve support issues via the issue tracker, please [check out this explanation](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#question).
```

## Angular: Commit Header

```
It looks like you need to update your commit header to match our requirements. This is different from the PR title. To update the commit header, use the command `git commit --amend` and update the header there.

Once you've finished that update, you will need to force push using `git push [origin name] [branch name] --force`. That should address this.
```

## Angular: Rebase and Squash

```
Please rebase and squash your commits. To do this, make sure to `git fetch upstream` to get the latest changes from the angular repository. Then in your branch run `git rebase upstream/main -i` to do an interactive rebase. This should allow you to fixup or drop any unnecessary commits. After you finish the rebase, force push using `git push [origin name] [branch name] --force`.
```

## Angular: Spam

```
Woah, looks like you've opened a lot of issues/PRs recently. While we appreciate contributions from the community, triaging and reviewing a large influx of content in a short time period takes time away from other ongoing projects. As a result, we're closing these issues/PRs to maintain the team's focus.

Note that this is not necessarily a rejection of the goals or direction of any of these contributions in particular, so much as a reflection of the team's current capacity and priorities.

You are welcome to open a smaller subset of issues/PRs in accordance with [our policy](/contributing-docs/spam.md) focused on the most important and impactful contributions and we will do our best to prioritize a response as soon as possible.
