## Commit Message Format
```
[location/scope]: [subject]
[body]
[footer]
```
### Locations
The location in a commit message represents where the change affects.
- A host (`Infini-DESKTOP`, etc.)
- A module (Just use the module name, not including `module` or `functionality` as a prefix, to reduce length)
- A profile
- `pkgs`
- `overlays`
- Etc.
If affecting multiple locations, separate with a comma.
If affecting all, use a `*`, like `hosts/*`.
If in a sub-location, separate with a slash, such as `overlays/patches`.
### Scopes
A scope is an abstract type of location, such as:
- `flake` for `flake.nix` or a flake-wide change
- `bump` for `flake.lock` updates
- `meta` for changes relating to the repository-related files (`readme.md`, `ideas.md`, `todo.md`, `repository.md`)
### Subjects
- When packaging software, location is `pkgs/package`, subject is `init at [version]` or `[version old] -> [version new]` for new packages and updates. Other changes use a normal subject
- When renaming files, use the location above the original, and use `before -> after` for the subject
