+We utilize the Conventional Commits specification for our commit messages. See <https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification> for more information.
+The commit tag types can be of one of the following: feat, fix, deps, refactor, chore, docs. See <https://github.com/ipfs/helia/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml#L184-L192>
+The title must also be fewer than 72 characters long or it will fail the Semantic PR check. See <https://github.com/ipfs/helia/blob/main/.github/workflows/semantic-pull-request.yml>
