Awesome

An interactive CLI for creating conventional commits, built on cocogitto and inspired by cz-cli.

Features

• Create conventional commits with ease
• Use alongside cocogitto for automatic versioning, changelog generation, and more
• Use emoji 👋 (or, shortcodes)
• Autocomplete for commit scope
• Run as a git hook
• Custom commit types

Installation

webi

curl -sS https://webinstall.dev/koji | bash

cargo

cargo install --locked koji

Be sure to have git installed first.

Usage

The basic way to use koji is as a replacement for git commit, enforcing the conventional commit standard by writing your commit through an interactive prompt.

# Do some work
cd dev/koji
git add README.md

# Commit your work
koji

See koji --help for more options.

Using as a git hook

An alternative way to use koji is as a git hook, running it any time you run git commit.

Manually

Update .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg with the following code:

#!/bin/bash
exec < /dev/tty && koji --hook || true

husky

npx husky add .husky/prepare-commit-msg "exec < /dev/tty && koji --hook || true

rusty-hook

Add this to your .rusty-hook.toml:

prepare-commit-msg = "exec < /dev/tty && koji --hook || true"

Similar should work for any hook runner, just make sure you're using it with the prepare-commit-msg hook.

When using it as a hook, any message passed to git commit -m will be used for the commit summary. Writing your commit as a conventional commit, e.g. git commit -m "feat(space): delete some stars", will bypass koji altogether.

Configuration

Config values are prioritized in the following order:

• Passed in as arguments (see: koji --help)
• Read from file passed in via --config
• .koji.toml in the working directory
• ~/.config/koji/config.toml
• The default config
