+title: Commit Messages
+---
+
+For our commit messages we follow the style provided by [Conventional Commits](https://conventionalcommits.org). Not all of those suggestions are appropriate for Privacy Guides, so the main ones we use are:
+
+## Commit message with correction
+
+We use `fix` for simple things like spelling mistakes or site related bugs. These things will usually have the `correction` or `bug` label on GitHub.
+
+```text
+fix: Correct spelling on XYZ page (#0000)
+```
+
+## Update to site
+
+This example is for a removal of an item (but could also be used for an addition); you may elaborate why it was removed in the commit paragraph below. It can also be used for the addition of any new pages.
+
+```text
+update: Remove foobar (#0000)
+
+Foobar was removed due to it having numerious security issues and being unmaintained.
+```
+
+## Update to specific item
+
+This example could be used for an item already on the site, but includes a minor update to the description.
+
+```text
+foobar: Add mention of security audit (#0000)
+```
+
+## Feature/enhancement
+
+For new features or enhancements to the site, e.g. things that have the `enhancements` label on GitHub, it may be appropriate to signify these with:
+
+```text
+feat: Add blah blah (#0000)
+
+This change adds the forum topics to the main page
+```
+
+## Module update
+
+Dependency updates follow the normal recommendations of beginning with:
+
+```text
+chore: Bump modules/mkdocs-material from 463e535 to 621a5b8
+```
