Conventional Commit Standard

The Conventional Commit standard provides a set of rules for formatting commit messages. Each commit message consists of a header, an optional body, and an optional footers. The header has a specific format:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Where:

• type: Describes the kind of change being made (e.g., feat, fix, docs).
• scope (optional): Specifies the scope of the change (e.g., component, module).
• description: Provides a brief summary of the change.
