Why czg #

Motivation #

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 completed 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

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
