About

Commitizen is release management tool designed for teams.

Commitizen assumes your team uses a standard way of committing rules and from that foundation, it can bump your project's version, create the changelog, and update files.

By default, commitizen uses conventional commits, but you can build your own set of rules, and publish them.

Using a standardized set of rules to write commits, makes commits easier to read, and enforces writing descriptive commits.

Features

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

Setting up bash completion

When using bash as your shell (limited support for zsh, fish, and tcsh is available), Commitizen can use argcomplete for auto-completion. For this argcomplete needs to be enabled.

argcomplete is installed when you install Commitizen since it's a dependency.

If Commitizen is installed globally, global activation can be executed:

sudo activate-global-python-argcomplete

For permanent (but not global) Commitizen activation, use:

register-python-argcomplete cz >> ~/.bashrc

For one-time activation of argcomplete for Commitizen only, use:

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete cz)"

For further information on activation, please visit the argcomplete website.
