Conventional commits are great, especially if you add in commit linting. Being able to programmatically increment semantic versions and automatically generate relevant changelogs is awesome. It’s also nice to implement Commitizen[0] for a little hand holding until folks get used to the linting. I used to care a lot about doing things the way that felt right to me, but now I just want some common standard that is easy for everyone to follow, easy to automate, and easy to verify programmatically. Things like conventional commits and semantic versioning aren’t perfect, but they are quite good and apply broadly to many use cases with common tooling and conventions. -- [0]: http://commitizen.github.io/cz-cli/ http://commitizen.github.io/cz-cli/
