## Title
It is not that strict, but we use the title conventions in this repository.
Each commit message doesn't have to follow the conventions as long as it is clear and descriptive since it will be squashed and merged.

### Format of the title

```
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
```

The `type` and `scope` should always be lowercase as shown below.

**Allowed `<type>` values:**

- **feat** for a new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a MINOR version.
- **fix** for a bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a PATCH version.
- **perf** for performance improvements. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a PATCH version.
- **docs** for changes to the documentation.
- **style** for formatting changes, missing semicolons, etc.
- **refactor** for refactoring production code, e.g. renaming a variable.
- **test** for adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change.
- **build** for updating build configuration, development tools or other changes irrelevant to the user.
- **chore** for updates that do not apply to the above, such as dependency updates.
- **ci** for changes to CI configuration files and scripts
- **revert** for revert to a previous commit

**Allowed `<scope>` values:**

checks:

- vuln
- misconf
- secret
- license

mode:

- image
- fs

- sbom
- k8s
- server
- aws

vuln:

- os
- lang

SBOM:

The `<scope>` can be empty (e.g. if the change is a global or difficult to assign to a single component), in which case the parentheses are omitted.

### Example titles

```
feat(alma): add support for AlmaLinux
```

```
fix(oracle): handle advisories with ksplice versions
```

```
docs(misconf): add comparison with Conftest and TFsec
```

```
chore(deps): bump go.uber.org/zap from 1.19.1 to 1.20.0
```

**NOTE**: please do not use `chore(deps): update fanal` and something like that if you add new features or fix bugs in Trivy-related projects.
The PR title should describe what the PR adds or fixes even though it just updates the dependency in Trivy.

## Commits


## Understand where your pull request belongs

Trivy is composed of several repositories that work together:

- [Trivy](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy) is the client-side, user-facing, command line tool.
- [vuln-list](https://github.com/aquasecurity/vuln-list) is a vulnerability database, aggregated from different sources, and normalized for easy consumption. Think of this as the "server" side of the trivy command line tool. **There should be no pull requests to this repo**
- [vuln-list-update](https://github.com/aquasecurity/vuln-list-update) is the code that maintains the vuln-list database.
- [trivy-db](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-db) maintains the vulnerability database pulled by Trivy CLI.
- [go-dep-parser](https://github.com/aquasecurity/go-dep-parser) is a library for parsing lock files such as package-lock.json and Gemfile.lock.
