## Commit Standards Our project, OpenIM, follows the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0) standards. > Chinese translation: [Conventional Commits: A Specification Making Commit Logs More Human and Machine-friendly](https://tool.lu/en_US/article/2ac/preview) In addition to adhering to these standards, we encourage all contributors to the OpenIM project to ensure that their commit messages are clear and descriptive. This helps in maintaining a clean and meaningful project history. Each commit message should succinctly describe the changes made and, where necessary, the reasoning behind those changes. To facilitate a streamlined process, we also recommend using appropriate commit type based on Conventional Commits guidelines such as `fix:` for bug fixes, `feat:` for new features, and so forth. Understanding and using these conventions helps in generating automatic release notes, making versioning easier, and improving overall readability of commit history.
