Conventional Commits

Structured commit message format for version control that provides clear, readable project history.

Overview

The Conventional Commits specification provides:

• Automated changelog generation - Tools can parse commits to generate CHANGELOG.md
• Semantic versioning - Commit types map to version bumps (feat → minor, breaking → major)
• Clear project history - Standardized format makes git log readable
• Automated releases - CI/CD can trigger releases based on commit types
