Suggestions:

1. Add a quick & convenient link to the official guide: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
2. Under Quick Examples, add an additional example for breaking changes (or modify the existing one) to show how the exclamation point also goes after the scope, if present. You show feat!: but maybe also show feat(scope)!:.

Added your suggestions.

Suggestions:
Adding vendor type, which is used for updating dependencies/packages.

Suggestions: Adding vendor type, which is used for updating dependencies/packages.

Updating dependencies/packages is under "chore" prefix, isn't it?

I personally use build for packages/dependencies, since they're involved in the build process. But I think the point here is that we shouldn't add custom conventions beyond what is documented in the Angular repo or conventionalcommits.org.
