Based on https://www.conventionalcommits.org
type and subject is mandatory. scope is optional. no dot in the end.
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
Example:
feat(sample): add v3 reCAPTCHA example
Commit message must start in a following format
- benchmark: Add benchmarks or correcting existing benchmarks
- build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
- chore: Other changes that don't modify src or test files
- ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
- docs: Documentation only changes
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- improvement: Improve a current implementation without adding a new feature or fixing a bug
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- revert:
reverts commit <hash>
- release: A new release
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
- Visual Studio project
- Node project name
- Angular CLI project name
- Build system(VSTS, travis, etc...)
- Documentation file(readme, changelog, etc...)
Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
The footer should contain any information about Breaking Changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit Closes.
