Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use conventional commits for all projects?
Conventional commits are especially beneficial for open-source projects, libraries, and teams that want automated tooling. For personal projects, the structure still improves commit clarity.
What is a breaking change?
A breaking change is any modification that requires users to update their code when upgrading. Mark these with an exclamation mark (!) after the type/scope.
How detailed should commit messages be?
Keep the subject line under 50 characters and use the body for detailed explanations when necessary. Focus on why the change was made, not just what changed.
