gitcommit
a tool for writing conventional commits, conveniently
To install
pip install conventional-commit
To use, run the following command from within a git repository
gitcommit
The purpose of this utility is to expedite the process of committing with a conventional message format in a user friendly way. This tool is not templated, because it sticks rigidly to the Conventional Commit standard, and thus not designed to be 'altered' on a case by case basis.
Commit messages produced follow the general template:
<type>[(optional scope)]: <description>
[BREAKING CHANGE: ][optional body / required if breaking change]
[optional footer]
Additional rules implemeted:
The old distribution method is documented in docs/dev_distibution_legacy.md
Note: if modifying .travis.yml
you should verify it by running travis lint .travis.yml
Make sure you have pre-commit installed.
Make sure you have pyenv installed.
Make sure you have Poetry installed.
git clone
pre-commit install
It is highly recommend you enable setting for storing the venvs within your projects.
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
Install project dependencies.
poetry install
Activate the virtual environment.
source .venv/bin/activate
Run the package as a module.
python -m gitcommit
Alternatively,
poetry run python -m gitcommit
Or, if in another directory,
~/GitHub/gitcommit/.venv/bin/python -m gitcommit
Deployment is handled automatically by Travis CI. It has been linked to the repository and is automatically watching for pushes to master. It will build and test every commit to master. It will also build every tagged commit as if it was a branch, and since its a tagged commit, will attempt to publish it to PyPI.
Don't forget to increment version number set in pyproject.toml
. This can be
done with poetry.
poetry version [patch|minor|major]
Update the version number as stored in the gitcommit/__version__.py
file to match that designated by Poetry.
Tag the commit (by default applies to HEAD commit - make sure you are on the latest develop
commit).
git tag v#.#.#
When pushing commits to remote, you must explicitly push tags too.
git push origin --tags
This work takes inspiration from another repository porting Commitizen to Python. This repository however uses none of the same source code and is focusing on a different approach.
