Conventional Commit Helper

What is Conventional Commit Helper?

Conventional Commit Helper creates a compact commit header from a recognized change type, optional scope, summary, and breaking-change choice. It focuses on the core Conventional Commits syntax, making it suitable when a repository needs consistent history without the additional emoji and long-form options of the larger Commit Message Suite.

How to use Conventional Commit Helper

Provide the change information, choose the appropriate Conventional Commit type and optional scope, and generate a structured commit message.

When is Conventional Commit Helper useful?

Conventional Commit Helper is useful when repositories use Conventional Commits, automated changelogs, semantic releases, or team-wide commit conventions.

Example

A practical example is creating a fix commit for an API validation bug using a clear type, scope, and description.

Practical notes

Match the allowed types and scopes to the repository's own contribution rules. A correctly formatted header is only useful when the selected type reflects the real impact of the change and the description is specific enough to understand later.
