Git Commit Messages

Use the Conventional Commits specification to format your commit messages. This helps keep the project history readable and enables automatic changelog generation and versioning.

Format:

<type>(optional-scope): <description>

[optional body]

Guidelines:

  • Keep the subject line under 72 characters.
  • Use lowercase for <type> and <scope>.

Common <type> values:

  • feat: a new feature
  • fix: a bug fix
  • refactor: code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • docs: documentation only changes
  • style: changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc.)
  • perf: a code change that improves performance
  • chore: other changes that don't modify src, example or test files
