|---|---|
| feat | New feature |
| fix | Bug fix |
| refactor | Code restructuring (no behavior change) |
| docs | Documentation only |
| test | Adding or updating tests |
| chore | Build, config, tooling |
| perf | Performance improvement |
| ci | CI/CD changes |
| style | Formatting (no logic change) |
Examples
feat(auth): add JWT refresh token rotation
- Implement refresh token storage in database
- Add token rotation on every refresh
- Invalidate old tokens after rotation
- Add tests for token expiry edge cases
Closes JIRA-123
fix(inventory): correct stock calculation for negative quantities
Stock was showing incorrect values when adjusting below zero.
Now clamps to zero and logs a warning.
Fixes JIRA-125
Commit Rules
- Atomic: Each commit does ONE thing
- Revertible: Each commit can be safely reverted
- Tested: Each commit has passing tests
- Described: Subject line ≤ 72 chars, body explains WHY
- No Secrets: Never commit .env, credentials, tokens
Merge Conflict Resolution
Protocol
- Pull latest from develop
- Rebase feature branch on develop
- Resolve conflicts manually (never auto-merge)
- Run full test suite after resolution
- Verify no regressions
- Push and create PR
Conflict Prevention
- Keep feature branches small and short-lived
- Pull/rebase frequently from develop
- Avoid modifying the same files as other branches
- Communicate with team about file ownership
