# Git Commit Helper

Helps craft well-structured commits.

## Workflow

1. Run `git status` and `git diff --staged` to understand what is changing.
2. Group related changes into a single logical commit.
3. Write a message in the Conventional Commits style:

   ```
   <type>(<scope>): <summary>

   <body explaining what and why>
   ```

   Common types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`.
4. Keep the summary under 72 characters and in the imperative mood.
