cz_legacy

Custom Commitizen parser for user-specified legacy change types. The parser utilizes the cz_conventional_commits pattern and extends with the tag mapping specified in the configuration file.

While old change types will appear in the "Changelog", the user will be prevented from using them in new commits. This is the reverse of the revert/chore logic from commitizen that allows use of those commit types, but won't display them in the changelog.

Alternatives

This customization only works when old commits use the <change_type>: <message> format that can be parsed by commitizen. If that doesn't fit your use case, you may want to try out incremental which (I think) prepends to an existing CHANGELOG

Usage

Pre-Commit

To use in pre-commit, add this to your pre-commit-config.yml. Run pre-commit autoupdate to get the latest version

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen
    rev: main
    hooks:
      - id: commitizen
        additional_dependencies: [cz_legacy]
        stages: [commit-msg]

Configuration

At minimum, you must have the name = "cz_legacy" and [tool.commitizen.cz_legacy_map] in your configuration file. The below example is for TOML, you can also utilize a YAML or JSON file.

Below is an example of the three change legacy types Chg, Fix, and New, but the user can choose any tag names and associated mapping for the Changelog

[tool.commitizen]
name = "cz_legacy"
# Other tool.commitizen configuration options

[tool.commitizen.cz_legacy_map]
Chg = "Change (old)"
Fix = "Fix (old)"
New = "New (old)"
