commitizen

What I want to do with commitizen?

• build commit messages with it interactive prompt
• automatically bump versions based on commit history
• follow commitlint settings
• create git tags & push them (then later github-action will be able to build and publish it)

What I want to solve with other tools

• validate commit messages: commitlint integration (I already use have a husky git hook for validation)
• generating CHANGELOG (I use git-cliff for this purpose)

First Problem: commitlint fails because of the bump commit

I am running commitlint locally in husky's commit-msg. I have the standrad @commitlint/config-conventional configured, which is based on the newer angular standard.

Solutions:

• allow bump commit locally
• enable CI to bump versions (this way commitlint won't be triggered)
• configure dynamic versioning based on tags and disable commitizen commits (seems cz has a bug related to this)
