# Commits

We use Conventional Commits, so that commit messages are clean and concise. They should follow a consistent structure, being written in present-tense and using the prefixes below:

• chore: modifies documentation, cleaning dependencies, other housekeeping-like tasks
• ci: creates or changes an existing continuous integration workflow (checkout ci.*.yml files in firefly/.github/workflows/)
• feat: introduces a new feature or enhancement of an existing feature
• fix: fixes or patches a bug in app functionality
• refactor: improvements made to existing code
• style: adjusts component styling or UI-only changes
• test: changes made only to unit or integration tests

An example might be: feat: Add conversion function for IOTA to fiat currency

The granularity of the commits are ultimately up to you, however we prefer keeping the number of commits lower if possible. The commits are squashed in the end as a change-log / summary of the PR, so do not worry too much.
