Why Use Conventional Commits?

• Automatically generating CHANGELOGs.

• Automatically determining a semantic version bump (based on the types of commits landed).

• Communicating the nature of changes to teammates, the public, and other stakeholders.

• Triggering build and publish processes.

• Making it easier for people to contribute to your projects, by allowing them to explore a more structured commit history.
