3 Reasons Why You Should Use Conventional Commits

What's this blog post about?

Conventional commits provide clarity and consistency in version control by standardizing commit messages, making it easier to understand changes made to software. This approach enhances collaboration among developers by providing a clear structure for commit messages, which can be automatically generated into changelogs and used for versioning according to SemVer. Additionally, conventional commits encourage better communication within teams by giving context to the commit message, making it more likely that team members can understand what changes were made without having to read through the entire commit history. By using conventional commits, developers can benefit from auto-generated changelogs, auto-versioning, and improved team communication.
