-- Checkout a topic branch from a base branch, e.g. master, and merge back against that branch.
+- Checkout a topic branch from a base branch, e.g. fix-bug, and merge back against that branch.
 - It's OK to have multiple small commits as you work on the PR - GitHub can automatically squash them before merging.
 - To check that your contributions match the project coding style make sure `pnpm lint` && `pnpm typecheck` passes. To build project run: `pnpm build`.
 - Commit messages must follow the [commit message convention](./.github/commit-convention.md). Commit messages are automatically validated before commit (by invoking [Git Hooks](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks) via [simple-git-hooks](https://github.com/toplenboren/simple-git-hooks)).
+- Commit messages preferably in English.
 - No need to worry about code style as long as you have installed the dev dependencies - modified files are automatically formatted with Prettier on commit (by invoking [Git Hooks](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks) via [simple-git-hooks](https://github.com/toplenboren/simple-git-hooks)).
