Foreword

What is it ?

Cocogitto is a CLI and GitOps toolbox for the Conventional Commits and Semver specifications.

Why ?

There are plenty of tools listed on the conventional commits web site to help you generate changelog, git hooks, commit template etc. Some of them are specifically designed for the Conventional Commits specification, and some of them are general purpose.

Cocogitto was designed to help you respect the conventional and semver standard and is not intended to be used in any other context.

It strives to be a set of simple, modern and fast command line interfaces.

Goals

Make using the conventional commits spec easy and fun.
Enable people to focus on their work instead of correcting small mistakes and typos.
Enforce correctness regarding Semver and Conventional Commits.
Automate things when possible (ex: bumping versions).

Non goals

Cocogitto is not a git replacement. It uses some of libgit2 but only to provide features related to the Conventional Commits specification. Anything else shall be done with git.
Supporting other commit conventions or git workflows.

Quick start

This readme is a quick tour of what you can do with Cocogitto, for an in-depth guide please refer to the documentation.

Installation

Archlinux

shell pacman -S cocogitto

Cargo

shell cargo install --locked cocogitto

NixOs

shell nix-env -iA cocogitto

Conventional commits

Note: coco has been deprecated in favor of the cog commit command.

To create conventional commits you can use the cog commit command. It has subcommands for the default fix and feat Conventional Commits types plus the angular commit conventional commit types.

Example:

```shell

With cog

cog commit feat "add awesome feature"

With git

git commit -m "feat: add awesome feature" ```

See User guide -> Conventional commits.

Auto-bumps

Creating a version with cog bump will perform the following actions :

Determine a version number according to your commit history.
Perform configuration defined pre-bump commands.
Append the version's changelog to your repository changelog file.
Create a version commit and tag it.
Perform post-bump commands

Example:

```shell

File: cog.toml

prebumphooks = [ "echo {{version}}", ]

postbumphooks = [ "git push", "git push origin {{version}}", ]

[changelog] path = "CHANGELOG.md" template = "remote" remote = "github.com" repository = "cocogittobotplayground" owner = "cocogitto" authors = [ { username = "oknozor", signature = "Paul Delafosse"} ] ```

Changelogs
