Conventional Commits Generator

About Conventional Commits Generator

The Conventional Commits Generator helps you write commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification — a widely adopted standard of the form type(scope): description. Instead of memorizing the rules, you fill in a simple form and get a correctly structured message with body, footers, and breaking-change notation.

Structured commits power automated tooling: changelog generators, semantic-release, and commitlint all rely on this format to determine version bumps and produce release notes without manual effort.

How to Use Conventional Commits Generator

1. 1. Pick a type that matches your change (feat, fix, docs, and so on).
2. 2. Optionally add a scope — the part of the codebase affected, like auth.
3. 3. Write a concise subject in the imperative mood; watch the character counter.
4. 4. Add a body to explain the motivation and context, if needed.
5. 5. Toggle Breaking change for incompatible API changes (adds ! and a footer).
6. 6. Add footers such as Closes #123 or Reviewed-by.
7. 7. Copy the formatted message or the ready-to-run git commit command.
