 1. If you update subdependencies, simply run `npm install` or `npm run lerna:install` to re-install lerna package dependencies. This is especially helpful when you are pulling in new code (with sub dependency additionas) from another branch.
-1. `npm run build:watch` build the project in the `packages/<PACKAGE_NAME>/lib` folder, packages that do not contain a .tsconfig and do not have a `tsc` and `tsc:build` script will be ignored lerna executes packages that contain only these scripts.

 1. For all packages, simply execute the target file such as `node packages/particle-cli/lib/bin/particle-cli.js init` to run things, typescript must be compiled for typescript packages to execute
 1. `npm run test:watch` to start jest in watch mode (recommended)

+### Making a commit
+
+Particle 11 uses [Lerna](https://github.com/lerna/lerna) in concert with [Commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli) to follow the [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) specifications. This will allow for all of our package versions to be update automatically when they are published to their file registries.  
+
+To this end every commit should be made using ```npm run commit``` or ```npx cz```. Also consider installing [Commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli) globally on your machine and just using ```cz```. This will present you with a CLI to construct your commits 
+
+![](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli/raw/master/meta/screenshots/add-commit.png)
+
+If you commit without using Commitizen, or have to fix a commit, follow this format:
+
+[type](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) (scope/file changed, optional): message  
+EX: ```chore(README.md): update documentation ```
+
+In case you make the wrong kind of commit [SEE THIS](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#what-do-i-do-if-i-accidentally-use-the-wrong-commit-type)
