^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert)(\([a-z0-9\-]+\))?(!)?:\s.+ (flags: i)Raw source: ^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert)(\([a-z0-9\-]+\))?(!)?:\s.+
How it works
The first group captures the commit type from the allowed list. (\([a-z0-9\-]+\))? optionally captures a scope in parentheses. (!)? captures a breaking change marker. :\s requires a colon and space before the description. The i flag makes types case-insensitive.
