What its author says it does

Conventional Commits

Format

<type>(<optional scope>): <subject>

<optional body>

<optional footer(s)>

Subject: imperative mood, ≤72 chars, no trailing period
Body: explain why, not only what
Breaking: BREAKING CHANGE: description in footer or type!:

Types

Type	Use
`feat`	New user-facing capability
`fix`	Bug fix
`docs`	Documentation only
`style`	Formatting, no logic change
`refactor`	Code change, no feat/fix
`perf`	Performance improvement
`test`	Tests only
`build`	Build system or deps
`ci`	CI config
`chore`	Maintenance, tooling

Workflow

Run git status and git diff (staged + unstaged).
Group changes into one or more logical commits if needed.
Pick type and scope from the diff paths.
Write subject from the user impact, not file names.

Examples

Input: Added JWT login endpoint and middleware

feat(auth): add JWT login and validation middleware

Enable stateless sessions for API clients.

Input: Fixed timezone bug in report dates

fix(reports): use UTC for report timestamps

Fixes incorrect local display for cross-region users.

Rules

Do not mention tool names in the subject
Avoid vague subjects: "update stuff", "fix bug"
One concern per commit when possible
