### Commit Message Format
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. The header has a special
format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
```
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
```
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on Gitea as well as in various git tools.
The footer should contain a [closing reference to an issue](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/) if any.
Samples:
```
docs(readme): update change log to beta.5
```
```
style(server): reorder imports
```
```
fix(webapp): ui animations should now play on the right time
Closes #123
```
### Revert
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert: `, followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`, where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.
### Type
Must be one of the following:
* **build**: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, npm)
* **ci**: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: drone)
* **docs**: Documentation only changes
* **feat**: A new feature
* **fix**: A bug fix
* **perf**: A code change that improves performance
* **refactor**: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
* **style**: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
* **test**: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
* **bump**: Bump a version to X
### Scope
The following is the list of supported scopes (more to come):
* **core**: used for changes made in server and webapp
* **server** used for changes made in the server
* **webapp** used for changes made in the webapp
* none/empty string: useful for `style`, `test` and `refactor` changes that are done across all packages (e.g. `style: add missing semicolons`)
### Subject
The subject contains succinct description of the change:
* use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
* don't capitalize first letter
* no dot (.) at the end
### Body
Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
### Footer
The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to
reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**.
**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
### More Infos
To generate a changelog **[conventional-changelog](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog)** is used.
