📄 Description

Conventional Commits is silent on the grammatical structure of commit
descriptions, but logs are easier to read if that structure is consistent.

Convert the examples to imperative mood so they all read similarly:

allow provided config object to extend other configs
correct spelling of CHANGELOG
add polish language
correct minor typos in code
