• A standard format for both human- and machine-readable commit messages. Conventional Commits work with a type and a description, as in “feat: launch new video embed” or “docs: correct spelling mistakes,” but also take optional information like scope, a message body, and a message footer. The format was inspired by the Angular commit guidelines, and first published in 2017. ↑ conventionalcommits.org
