Conventional Commits

To make it easier to work with commit messages in a team, I use the commitizen library.

1. feat – a new feature is introduced with the changes
2. fix – a bug fix has occurred
3. chore – changes that do not relate to a fix or feature and don't modify src or test files (for example updating dependencies)
4. refactor – refactored code that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
5. docs – updates to documentation such as a the README or other markdown files
6. style – changes that do not affect the meaning of the code, likely related to code formatting such as white-space, missing semi-colons, and so on.
7. test – including new or correcting previous tests
8. perf – performance improvements
9. ci – continuous integration related
10. build – changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
11. revert – reverts a previous commit
