About

The Conventional Commits specification is inspired by, and based heavily on, the Angular Commit Guidelines.

The first draft of this specification has been written in collaboration with some of the folks contributing to:

• conventional-changelog: a set of tools for parsing Conventional Commits messages from git histories.
• parse-commit-message: Extensible utilities for parsing, stringify and validating Conventional Commit messages.
• bumped: a tool for releasing software that makes it easy to perform actions before and after releasing a new version of your software.
• unleash: a tool for automating the software release and publishing lifecycle.
• lerna: a tool for managing monorepos, which grew out of the Babel project.
