Git Command

Conventional Commits Format

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

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

  • Type describes the kind of change (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
  • Scope is optional and describes the affected component
  • Description should be lowercase and imperative ("add" not "added")
  • Breaking changes are indicated with "!" after scope or "BREAKING CHANGE:" in footer
  • First line should be 72 characters or less (50 recommended)

Tips

  • Use imperative mood: "add" not "added" or "adds"
  • Don't capitalize first letter of description
  • No period at the end of description
  • Separate subject from body with a blank line
  • Use the body to explain what and why, not how
  • Reference issues and PRs in the footer
