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.
- Command-line utility to create commits with your rules. Defaults: Conventional commits
- Bump version automatically using semantic versioning based on the commits. Read More
- Generate a changelog using Keep a changelog
- Update your project's version files automatically
- Display information about your commit rules (commands: schema, example, info)
- Create your own set of rules and publish them to pip. Read more on Customization

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-argcompleteFor permanent (but not global) Commitizen activation, use:
register-python-argcomplete czp >> ~/.bashrcFor one-time activation of argcomplete for Commitizen only, use:
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete czp)"For further information on activation, please visit the argcomplete website.
