+Commit Message Examples
+=======================
+
+## Chores
+
+A `chore` type is a task not directly tied to a feature, fix, or test. It is
+often work that requires no change to production code.
+
+```
+chore(scripts/): Moved extraneous scripts into scripts/ directory
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+A `docs` type is a task that directly effects documentation that is
+constructed manually, programmatically, or through a third-party. This
+can include typos, additions, deletions, and examples.
+
+```
+docs(allocator.h): Document prototypes
+```
+
+## Features
+
+A `feat` type is a task that introduces a new feature. The new feature
+may introduce a breaking change to production code.
+
+```
+feat(storage.c): Introduce new random access storage operation
+```
+
+## Fixes/bugs
+
+A `fix` type is a task that addresses a bug in production code, build
+scripts, compilation steps, or anything that directly or indirectly breaks or
+impacts production.
+
+```
+fix(request.c): Fix double free
+```
+
+## Refactoring
+
+A `refactor` type is a task that changes existing code. A refactor
+should be an improvement to the existing production code.
+
+```
+refactor(platform.h): Simplify macro ifdef logic for platform includes
+```
+
+## Code style
+
+A `style` type is a task that addresses code formatting such as missing
+semicolons, converting tabs to spaces, or removing extra newlines. There
+should not be any code changes.
+
+```
+style(sleepfile.h): Convert tabs to spaces
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+A `test` type is a task that addresses the testing of production code.
+This may include adding a new or missing test, refactoring existing
+tests, or removing useless tests. There should not be any code changes.
+
+```
+test(test.c): Enhance code path coverage
+```
