cz-path ¶

Provides prefix choices for commit messages based on staged files (Git only). For example, if the staged files are component/z/a.ts and component/z/b.ts, the path prefix option will be component/z and commit message might look like: component/z/: description of changes. If only one file is staged, the extension is removed in the prefix.

This plugins provides a commitizen convention for commit messages.

Installation¶

pip install cz-path

Usage¶

Add cz-path to your configuration file.

Example for .cz.json:

{
  "commitizen": {
    "name": "cz_path",
    "remove_path_prefixes": ["src", "module_name"]
  }
}

The default value for remove_path_prefixes is ["src"]. Adding / to the prefixes is not required.
