+
+For your convenience, pre-commit hooks are configured to check against these constraints. Provided, you have installed the development requirements (see above), activate `pre-commit` to run on every `git commit`:

+```sh
+pre-commit install

+Also, a helper with conventional commits is installed with the development requirements that you could leverage to easily comply with it. Just use `cz c` instead of `git commit`
