What are the 'chore' commits?

[aditya menon]

Hi, 

I see many commits in the history prefixed with (chore) in them.

• What does this mean? Some sort of 'grunt task'?
• Are these tasks in the repo, which file can I see them in?
• Are these actions committed to git automatically?
  

Thanks!

I later noticed this in CONTRIBUTING.md:

Type

Must be one of the following:

• feat: A new feature
• fix: A bug fix
• docs: Documentation only changes
• style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug or adds a feature
• perf: A code change that improves performance
• test: Adding missing tests
• chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation

So that's about it.
