-###############################################################################
-
-# Scopes are optionally supplied after a 'type'. For example, in
-#
-# feat(docs): autostart ui
-#
-# '(docs)' is the scope. Scopes are used to signify where the change occurred.
-scopes:
-  # docs: changes to the code-server documentation.
-  - docs
-
-  # vendor: changes to vendored dependencies.
-  - vendor
-
-  # deps: changes to code-server's dependencies.
-  - deps
-
-  # cs: changes to code specific to code-server.
-  - cs
-
-  # cli: changes to the command-line interface.
-  - cli
-
-# We only check that the PR title is semantic. The PR title is automatically
-# applied to the "Squash & Merge" flow as the suggested commit message, so this
-# should suffice unless someone drastically alters the message in that flow.
-titleOnly: true
-
-# Types are the 'tag' types in a commit or PR title. For example, in
-#
-# chore: fix thing
-#
-# 'chore' is the type.
-types:
-  # A build of any kind.
-  - build
-
-  # A user-facing change that corrects a defect in code-server.
-  - fix
-
-  # Any code task that is ignored for changelog purposes. Examples include
-  # devbin scripts and internal-only configurations.
-  - chore
-
-  # Any work performed on CI.
-  - ci
-
-  # Work that directly implements or supports the implementation of a feature.
-  - feat
-
-  # A refactor changes code structure without any behavioral change.
-  - refactor
-
-  # A git revert for any style of commit.
-  - revert
-
-  # Adding tests of any kind. Should be separate from feature or fix
-  # implementations. For example, if a commit adds a fix + test, it's a fix
-  # commit. If a commit is simply bumping coverage, it's a test commit.
-  - test
-
-  # A new release.
