We have a nice interactive UI.

We can fake it using the below example simulates the steps

shell,script(name="full") { sleep 1 echo -ne "fix\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "github\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "Something that changed\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "the subject goes here\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "\r" } | socat - EXEC:'fast-conventional commit.txt',pty,setsid,ctty

Now if we look at the commit

shell,script(name="cat-file") cat commit.txt

``` text,verify(name="cat-file") fix(github)!: the subject goes here

BREAKING CHANGE: Something that changed ```

Once you have an existing message, you can also edit it

shell,script(name="editing") { sleep 1 echo -ne "\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "A better BC reason\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "\r" sleep 1 echo -ne "\r" } | socat - EXEC:'fast-conventional commit.txt',pty,setsid,ctty

Now if we look at the commit

shell,script(name="cat-edited-file") cat commit.txt

``` text,verify(name="cat-edited-file") fix(github)!: the subject goes here

BREAKING CHANGE: A better BC reason ```
