What is a breaking change?

A breaking change is a modification that breaks backward compatibility. In conventional commits, this is indicated by a '!' after the type/scope or by starting a footer line with 'BREAKING CHANGE:'.

It ensures your team follows a consistent format, making it easier to generate changelogs and automate versioning.
