Add commitizen incredibly fast into your project!
- Allow prerelease
- Super easy to setup
- Automatically bump version
- Automatically create changelog
- Update any file in your repo with the new version
Are you using conventional commits and semver?
Then you are ready to use this github action! The only thing you'll need is the
.cz.toml
file in your project.
- In your repository create a
.cz.toml
file (you can runcz init
to create it) - Create a
.github/workflows/bumpversion.yaml
with the Sample Workflow
Your .cz.toml
(or pyproject.toml
if you are using python) should look like
this.
[tool.commitizen]
version = "0.1.0" # This should be your current semver version

- Create a deploy key (which is the SSH public key)
- Add the private key as a Secret in your repository, e.g:
COMMIT_KEY
- Set up your action

This problem occurs because secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN
do not trigger other
actions by design.
To solve it, you must use a personal access token in the checkout and the commitizen steps.
Follow the instructions in commitizen's documentation.
If your rules can be parsed, then you can build your own commitizen rules,
create a new commitizen python package, or you can describe it on the toml
config itself.
