 ##### DataLoader Developer Documentation
 
-## How to Create a Release
+### Standard Commit Messages on Master
 
-DataLoader provides a release binary which allows end users to use DataLoader without having to build from source using the JDK. We use the Maven Assembly plugin to package the DataLoader jar file along with the directory structure, README.md, LICENSE, and other supporting files into `target/dataloader.zip`.
+Commits to master use the [Conventional Commits Specification](https://conventionalcommits.org/). Admins select the _Squash and Merge_ option when merging in Pull Requests and rename the commit to follow the format: _type_(_scope_): _description_.

+### Creating a Release

+[standard-version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/standard-version) is used to calculate the version number, update the `package.json` version, 
+generate the `CHANGELOG.md` file, generate a GitHub release, and push tags to Master, which allows TravisCI to generate the build artifacts and upload them to a GitHub release.
