## About

Commitizen is a tool designed for teams.

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

The reasoning behind it is that it 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.

### Commitizen features

- Command-line utility to create commits with your rules. Defaults: [Conventional commits][conventional_commits]
- Display information about your commit rules (commands: schema, example, info)
- Bump version automatically using [semantic versioning][semver] based on the commits. [Read More](./bump.md)
- Generate a changelog using [Keep a changelog][keepchangelog]

## Requirements

Python 3.6+

[Git][gitscm] `1.8.5.2`+

## Installation

Global installation

```bash
sudo pip3 install -U Commitizen
```

### Python project

You can add it to your local project using one of these:

```bash
pip install -U commitizen
```

```bash
poetry add commitizen --dev
```

## Usage

### Committing

Run in your terminal

```bash
cz commit
```

or the shortcut

```bash
cz c
```

### Integrating with Pre-commit
Commitizen can lint your commit message for you with `cz check`.
You can integrate this in your [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) config with:

```yaml
---
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen
    rev: master
    hooks:
      - id: commitizen
        stages: [commit-msg]
```

After the configuration is added, you'll need to run

```sh
pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
```

Read more about the `check` command [here](https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/check/).

### Help

```bash
$ cz --help
usage: cz [-h] [--debug] [-n NAME] [--version]
          {init,commit,c,ls,example,info,schema,bump,changelog,ch,check,version}
          ...

## FAQ

### Why are `revert` and `chore` valid types in the check pattern of cz conventional_commits but not types we can select?

`revert` and `chore` are added to the "pattern" in `cz check` in order to prevent backward errors, but officially they are not part of conventional commits, we are using the latest [types from Angular](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/22b96b9/CONTRIBUTING.md#type) (they used to but were removed).
However, you can create a customized `cz` with those extra types. (See [Customization](https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/customization/)

See more discussion in issue [#142](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen/issues/142) and [#36](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen/issues/36)

### How to handle revert commits?

```sh
git revert --no-commit <SHA>
git commit -m "revert: foo bar"
```
