Excerpt

story: e82s02

Commit Message

HARD GATE — HARD GATE — Commits must follow Conventional Commits spec (type(scope): description). Do NOT use vague messages like 'fix' or 'updates.' The message must explain the 'why,' not the 'what.'

Modes

Default: standard Conventional Commits message
--fix-type: Forces type=fix. Use when commit type is unambiguous.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
