### Commit messages
Follow [commit message hygiene][hygiene] to *make reviews easier* and to make
the VCS/git logs more valuable.
Follow the [convential commits guidelines][conventional_commits] to *make reviews easier* and to make
the VCS/git logs more valuable. The general structure of a commit message is as follows:
- Try to keep the first line under 72 characters.
- **Prefix the commit subject with a _scope_:** `doc:`, `test:`, `foo.c:`,
```
<type>([optional scope]): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
```
- **Prefix the commit subject with a _type_:** `doc:`, `test:`
`runtime:`, ...
- Subject line for commits with only style/lint changes can be a single
word: `style` or `lint`.
- **Add the optional scope following <type> if possible:** `(lsp)`, `(treesitter)`, `(multigrid)`, ...
- Try to keep the first line under 72 characters.
- A blank line must separate the subject from the description.
- Breaking changes must be indicated at the very beginning of the footer or body section of a commit. A breaking change must consist of the uppercase text BREAKING CHANGE, followed by a colon, a space, and a description of what has changed about the API.
- Check your commit message for spelling and grammatical mistakes.
- Use the _imperative voice_: "Fix bug" rather than "Fixed bug" or "Fixes bug."
