Version Control & Automation

This category covers files related to Git, commit standards, and automated release processes.

`.commitlint`

This file enforces Conventional Commits for structured commit messages.

Ensures clear commit history for semantic releases.
Add custom commit types or adjust rules like header length.

`.gitignore`

This file specifies files/folders Git should ignore.

Prevents committing sensitive files like .env or node_modules/.
Include project-specific ignores like logs or temp files.

`.release.config.js`

This file configures Semantic Release for automated versioning.

Automates releases and changelogs using commit messages.
Add plugins for npm publishing or custom release assets.

`.github`

This folder contains GitHub-specific configurations, primarily for workflows and automation.

Holds GitHub Actions workflows to automate tasks like CI/CD pipelines. Currently, the only action implemented is for semantic releases, which automates versioning and changelog generation based on commit messages.
You can expand this by adding more workflows, such as for automated testing, deployment to Vercel/AWS, or linting checks. For example, integrate actions for pull request reviews or security scans to fit your project's scale.
