+
+## Pull Request Title Format
+
+Pull request titles must follow this format:
+
+`type: description`
+
+Allowed types are `fix`, `feat`, `chore`, `refactor` and `docs`.
+
+Scopes are currently not allowed. For example, `fix: correct login redirect` is valid but `fix(auth): correct login redirect` is not.
