+- `docs:` - Documentation only changes
+- `style:` - Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code
+- `refactor:` - Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `perf:` - Code change that improves performance
+- `test:` - Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
+- `build:` - Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
+- `ci:` - Changes to CI configuration files and scripts
+- `chore:` - Other changes that don't modify src or test files
