# Semantic Commit Messages
## The reasons for these conventions
- automatic generating of the changelog
- simple navigation through Git history (e.g. ignoring the style changes)
See how a minor change to your commit message style can make you a better developer.
## Format
```
`<type>(<scope>): <subject>`
`<scope>` is optional
```
## Example
```
feat: add hat wobble
^--^ ^------------^
| |
| +-> Summary in present tense.
|
+-------> Type: chore, docs, feat, fix, refactor, style, or test.
```
Example `<type>` values:
- `feat`: (new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script)
- `fix`: (bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script)
- `docs`: (changes to the documentation)
- `style`: (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change)
- `refactor`: (refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable)
- `test`: (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
- `chore`: (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change, e.g. dependencies upgrade)
- `perf`: (perfomance improvement change, e.g. better concurrency performance)
- `ci`: (updating CI configuration files and scripts e.g. `.gitHub/workflows/*.yml` )
Example `<Scope>` values:
- `init`
- `runner`
- `watcher`
- `config`
- `web-server`
- `proxy`
The `<scope>` can be empty (e.g. if the change is a global or difficult to assign to a single component), in which case the parentheses are omitted. In smaller projects such as Karma plugins, the `<scope>` is empty.
## Message Subject (First Line)
The first line cannot be longer than `72` characters and should be followed by a blank line. The type and scope should always be lowercase as shown below
## Message Body
use as in the `<subject>`, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". Message body should include motivation for the change and contrasts with previous behavior.
## Message footer
### Referencing issues
Closed issues should be listed on a separate line in the footer prefixed with "Closes" keyword as the following:
```
Closes #234
```
or in the case of multiple issues:
```
Closes #123, #245, #992
```
