Edition

The English page of version 1.0.0 as published on conventionalcommits.org, built from content/v1.0.0/index.md of github.com/conventional-commits/conventionalcommits.org (last changed on 11 March 2026; the page and the file have the same words). The title of the page is the title of the poster and the tagline of the site’s banner is set under it. Links are set as plain text; the two horizontal rules around the message structure of the Summary are left out. Nothing else is left out. The year of the kicker is that of the commit “feat: release 1.0.0 of specification (#175)”, 30 September 2019, in the history of that file.
