feat!: Back to the `feature`! #566

Open DoppioJP opened 8 months ago

DoppioJP commented 8 months ago

The 'feat' word means something different than the word 'feature'

feat | fiːt | noun an achievement that requires great courage, skill, or strength: the new printing presses were considerable feats of engineering.

Fixes #544

BREAKING CHANGE: I think this will break some tools and for sure some memory muscles

Why not make it a synonym? That wouldn’t break anything.

Neat idea @LemmingAvalanche. How could I make it a synonym. I was looking for synonym references in this codebase, but I could not find anything I could use for this very purpose.

Change the text to something like

**feat** or **feature:** a commit of the _type_ `feat` or `feature` introduces 
a new feature to the codebase. `feature` is preferred over `feat`.

I guess.
