  fi
}

.gitconfig

[alias]
  cz = "!gitz() { if local output= ...}; gitz"

Format

All section etc {scope} that you can add on the format are bellow.

• {type}
• {emoji}
• {description}

:warning: The string that enclosed in double brackets ({{echo 'foo'}}, {{date}} etc) is interpreted as shell script.

Other strings ({body}, {footer}, {header} etc) is interpreted as a custom input.
The string is used as a prompt message.

Sometimes you don't have a scope and have to delete the brackets. If a space is entered for scope, brackets are removed altogether. #6

A example for your customize is bellow.

format = '''
{type}{scope}: {emoji}{subject}
{body}
{footer}'''
