# Commit

Create git commits with conventional commit messages.

## Steps

1. Run `git --no-pager diff` to review the full changes.
2. Analyze the changes thoroughly to understand what was modified.
3. Create a git commit with a clear, conventional commit message.

## Commit Guidelines

### Format
- **Title**: Use conventional commit format (`type: description`)
- **Body**: Include brief description linking to the issue
- **Language**: Always write commits in English
- **Newline**: Use real newlines in commit message, not `\n`
- **Resolve Issues**: If applicable, include "Resolves issue #X" in the body to link the commit to an issue. Skip this if there is no relevant issue.

**IMPORTANT**: Don't use `\n` that's not working, use real newlines!!!
**IMPORTANT**: Don't use `\n` that's not working, use real newlines!!!
