Conventional Commits

We've covered everything about writing well-formatted and structured code without worrying too much about it anymore. The only part we haven't explored yet is linting commit messages. Commitlint will help us here. It allows you to configure any rules you want for the commit message, but we're going to use the Conventional Commits specification, one of the most popular conventions you'll find.

Commit Management with Conventional Commits: The Conventional Commits methodology is adopted to maintain a clear and structured record of changes with the help of commitlint.

Validate if the commit titles adhere to the Conventional Commits Specification in Merge requests.

FYI there is already a popular tool that does just this with a very similar name: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please

The feature commit should have a clear defined message - Don't re-invent here - There exists a fairly used and accepted convention called Conventional Commits, so we are going to use that.
