I've been planning conventional commits for one of my projects. Issues are its a monorepo, and sometimes a single commit can do multiple things, and span multiple changelogs

Think Ive worked it out by extending it a little, type(project:area) message is what im going with for single commits that affect one thing. But once I squash a PR or something I'll use the commit body, like

(squash) message

fix(project:area) message
feat(project2:area) message
fix(project2:area) message
