Questions about conventional commit messages in git

Question

I'm trying to adapt to conventional commit messages, described in this article.

Here's a snippet from the article:

Allowed <type> values:

feat (new feature)
fix (bug fix)
docs (changes to documentation)
style (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no code change)
refactor (refactoring production code)
test (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
chore (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change)

But sometimes there are changes w/c are hard to categorize into this types. I'll list some of changes w/c i find confusing on what type to use

What types should i use in this cases

1. I added a css style on an existing component(react, angular, vue, etc)
2. I edited configuration files in my project such as package.json, .prettierc, etc.
3. Renaming a file
4. Deleting a file

Answer 1

Here's the more detailed conventional commit types:

• build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
• ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (examples: CircleCi, SauceLabs)
• docs: Documentation only changes
• feat: A new feature
• fix: A bug fix
• perf: A code change that improves performance
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

For each of your questions, I've put the type I'd use under it.

I added a css style on an existing component(react, angular, vue, etc)

feat

I edited configuration files in my project such as package.json, .prettierc, etc.

build

Renaming a file

refactor, potentially add BREAKING CHANGE

Deleting a file
