+| `fix` | A bug fix |
+| `docs` | Documentation only changes |
+| `style` | Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc) |
+| `refactor` | A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
+| `perf` | A code change that improves performance |
+| `test` | Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests |
