My answer might not be popular but

Personally I don't even use any convention for the first commit. No linters, and only write ugly code. Conventions are only useful in an engineering team. The first commit is probably just a PoC. I only start introducing any conventions when it's the right time.

I'm interested to hear other opinions.

docs(github): license, readme

- add MIT license (LICENSE)
- add readme (README.md)
build(package): init package

- add package (package.json)
- add lock-file (yarn.lock)

for github initial commit (with empty readme):

chore: init repo
