git-c

Loosely inspired by https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli

Installation

macOS and Linux (amd64/arm64), via Homebrew:

brew install --cask sascha-andres/tap/git-c

Usage

copy compiled binary as git-c in your path. Instead of calling git commit ... call git c

Parameters:

-help: show usage
-add: add all unstaged files before committing
-print: print resulting commit message
-lint: path to a commit-message
-verbose: print more information
-subject-line-length: characters allowed for subject line
-body-line-length: characters allowed for a body line
-prefill-scope-regex: provide regex to parse scope from branch
-issue-prefix: prefix detected scope with this value

Prefill scope regex

Expected to have a named group scope. Example:

^(?P<scope>[0-9]+)

Another example that fits most Jira projects:

^(?P<scope>[a-zA-Z0-9]+-[0-9]+)

Environment variables

Each parameter can be provided using environment variables. Set an environment variable using the prefix GIT_C_ and the uppercase flag name. That is for help: GIT_C_HELP

For boolean flags the value must be true
