About

Commitizen is a tool designed for teams.

Its main purpose is to define a standard way of commiting rules and communicating it (using the cli provided by commitizen).

The reasoning behind it is that is easier to read, and enforces writing descriptive commits.

Besides that, having a convention on your commits, makes it possible to parse them and use them for something else, like generating automatically the version or a changelog.

Installation

pip install -U commitizen
poetry add commitizen --dev

Global installation

sudo pip3 install -U commitizen

Features

  • Command line utility to create commits with your rules. Defaults: conventional commits

  • Display information about your commit rules (commands: schema, example, info)

  • Bump version automatically using semantic verisoning based on the commits. Read More

  • Generate a changelog using “Keep a changelog” (Planned feature)

Commit rules

This client tool prompts the user with information about the commit.

Based on conventional commits

This is an example of how the git messages history would look like:

fix: minor typos in code
feat: new command update
docs: improved commitizens tab in readme
feat(cz): jira smart commits
refactor(cli): renamed all to ls command
feat: info command for angular
docs(README): added badges
docs(README): added about, installation, creating, etc
feat(config): new loads from ~/.cz and working project .cz .cz.cfg and setup.cfg

And then using cz bump you can change the version of your project

feat to MINOR fix to PATCH

Commitizens

These are the available commiting styles by default:

The installed ones can be checked with:
