Git Commit with Conventional Commits Overview Create standardized, semantic git commits using the Conventional Commits specification. Analyze the actual diff to determine appropriate type, scope, and message. Conventional Commit Format Commit Types Type Purpose feat New feature fix Bug fix docs Documentation only style Formatting/style (no logic) refactor Code refactor (no feature/fix) perf Performance improvement test Add/update tests build Build system/dependencies ci CI/config changes chore Maintenance/misc revert Revert commit Breaking Changes Workflow 1. Analyze Diff 2. Stage Files (if needed) If nothing is staged or you want to group changes differently: Never commit secrets (.env, credentials.json, private keys). 3. Generate Commit Message Analyze the diff to determine: Type : What kind of change is this? Scope : What area/module is affected? Description : One line summary of what changed (present tense, imperative mood, <72 chars) 4. Execute Commit Best Practices One logical change per commit Present tense: "add" not "added" Imperative mood: "fix bug" not "fixes bug" Reference issues: Closes 123 , Refs 456 Keep description under 72 characters Git Safety Protocol NEVER update git config NEVER run destructive commands ( force, hard reset) without explicit request NEVER skip hooks ( no verify) unless user asks NEVER force push to main/master If commit fails due to hooks, fix and create NEW commit (don't amend)
