Why czg

Motivation

Article: 「czg development journey」

cz-git has always used Commitizen CLI as an adapter (plugin)

But recently I want a CLI which is zero dependency, faster to download, faster to start, simple and convenient, that I can use it in any project without any additional configuration items, fast starts the CLI.

So i finished czg CLI. You can understand it as Commitizen CLI alternative
= Commitizen CLI + cz-git

What is different from Commitizen CLI

  • No additional download step required
  • Expand cz-git features on its original basis
  • The startup faster. Since the core of cz-git is already inside, Has all the same convenient features as cz-git
  • More Lightweight. Better as project devDependencies or use npx in any of your projects
sh
$ npm install -D commitizen

$ du -sh ./node_modules
102M ./node_modules

$ npm install -D czg
added 1 package, and audited 2 packages in 531 ms
$ du -sh ./node_modules/*

$ npm install -D czg

$ du -sh ./node_modules/*
1.31M ./node_modules/czg

What is different from cz-git

cz-git is Commitizen adapter. czg behaves and loads config... the same as cz-git. If someone on your team is using Commitizen CLI. The two can be mixed, after all, both are very small and have zero dependencies.

  • If you using cz or git cz command will start commitizen CLI + cz-git adapter
  • If you using czg or git czg command will only start czg CLI
