In Semantic Commit Messages and other places there is reference to a “chore” type of commit.

That gist links to various sources, of which only https://karma-runner.github.io/0.10/dev/git-commit-msg.html mentions the “chore” commit. But this disappears from later versions of the same doc. As far as I can tell, that was the origin of the “chore” commit.

This question may suggest the apparently opinion-based one of what “chore” is intended to mean, so to be clear it’s asking just the factual one of “what was the origin of this term?”
