layout: post title: GACP, A Better Way to Commit
More than one year age, I came up with an idea to make git commit more easily. So I made gcmt. See this post for details.
Inspired by commitizen and gitmoji, I have shifted gcmt into gacp.
commitizen can make it easier to bump version and maintain change log through standard-version.
gitmoji adds emoji into git commit, which also brings more fun.
Tools I have mentioned above are written in javascript. Also, it's not easy to change keyboard inputs into which they really means in shell scripts. Using arrow keys to navigate within a prompt is always not working. However, it prints keyboard code. So I decided to make gacp by javascript.
Steps when using gacp as your commit script.
Type gacp in your git repositories.
Choose the type of your changes.
Enter the subject of your changing.
With help of standard-version, we can easily maintain version and change log.
Setup standard-version in package.json.
Run npm run release to bump version and generate CHANGELOG.md.
The output of CHANGELOG.md
The versioning and changeloging part is optional. By using gacp, you can still keeping your commit well-organized, pretty and much interesting.
