cz-pydata 0.2.0

Commitizen plugin for PyData-style commits

cz-pydata

---

Commitizen is command-line utility that helps you create your own set of rules for generating consistent commits, bumping your project's version, or generating a change log automatically.

PyData is an umbrella of projects from the scientific Python community, including NumPy, SciPy and Pandas. Some of these projects are using a commit message convention derived from the NumPy development guide, which will be referred to as the PyData convention.

Keep a Changelog is a specification for writing structured and human-readable changelogs. To my knowledge, there is currently no tooling available to turn PyData-style commit messages into a structured changelog automatically.

This plugin extends Commitizen to:

• Understand or generate commit messages following the PyData convention.
• Bump semantic versioning of a project based on those commit messages.
• Generate a structured changelog automatically following the KaC spec.
