Commit message conventions

Always prefix commit messages with the following categories

Categories

• breaking: anything semver-major
• new: anything semver-minor
• deps: anything that just deps
• readme: anything that's only changing the readme
• docs: anything that changes API documentation (more than just the readme)
• performance: a refactor (semver-patch) that improves performance (sometimes Perf, be consistent with what's in the log already)
• refactor: no observable changes (semver-patch)
• actions: anything that only changes Github Actions workflows
• tests: anything to do with testing, that's not just updating dev deps (sometimes Test, but the plural is preferred)
• lint: anything that's solely to do with linting - config and/or code changes, eg.
• meta: anything to do with project infra not covered by a more specific category: random package.json stuff, github config files, etc
• patch: anything semver-patch not covered by a more specific category
