✅ Guidelines for Good Commit Messages

We follow a standardized commit message format using Commitlint to ensure consistency and clarity in our commit history. Each commit message should adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Be Concise and Descriptive: Summarize the change in a way that’s easy to understand at a glance.
  2. Use the Imperative Mood: Write as if giving a command (e.g., Add, Fix, Update), which is a convention in many projects.
  3. Include Context: Provide context or reason for the change if it’s not immediately obvious from the summary.
  4. Reference Issues and Pull Requests: Include issue numbers or PR references if the commit addresses them.
  5. Issue reference (Optional): Include the issue number associated with the commit (e.g., #123).
