Thank you for writing this in such detail. It's a topic that has interested me throughout my career and I ended up using the ideas
explained at conventionalcommits.org.

In short, it's a few patterns and guidelines that make it easy for both humans and machines to read the git history. It allows you for example to generate changelog files automatically.

Agreed. This is my goto as well. I find it much easier for consistently structuring commit messages and also the easiest way to understand what was done, especially in a large codebase.
