 This project uses [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.or) with the following types:
 
-- `feat`: features, if any part of your commit implements a new functionality or changes an existing one, use this
-- `remove`: removal of existing code/functionality
-- `fix`: bugfixes
-- `refactor`: code refactoring
-- `update`: updating dependencies and associated code changes
-- `test`: any of the above, but with tests/mocks
-- `config`: changing configuration (linters, build process)
-- `doc`: documentation, including comments
-- `reformat`: fixing code formatting

 Always try to split up your changes into coherent commits, a single commit should do a single thing. If your commit needs to do more than one thing it should be labeled with the type coming first in this list.
