In any software project, the structure of commit messages is crucial for understanding changes, generating changelogs, and leveraging CI/CD tools effectively.
Conventional Commits provide a standardized convention for writing structured, meaningful, and machine-parsable commit messages in Git.
The structure of a Conventional Commit includes type, scope, description, body, and footer(s), with common types like feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, and chore.
Examples of Conventional Commits include adding a new feature, fixing a bug, updating documentation, making styling changes, refactoring code, and handling breaking changes.
