git-z
A Git extension to go beyond.
Features
Currently available:
- A wizard to format commit messages according to Conventional
Commits. It is configurable
with:
- a list of valid commit types and their descriptions,
- whether to ask for a scope,
- if applicable, a list of valid scopes,
- whether to ask for a ticket / issue reference,
- automated ticket / issue reference information from the name of the branch,
- a custom commit template.
On the roadmap:
- A validator to ensure commit messages follow Conventional Commits, optionally including a valid ticket reference.
- A wizard to create a branch—and optionally a worktree—from a GitHub / GitLab issue or Jira ticket.
Setup
Installation with Nix
If you are a Nix user on Linux or macOS, you can add git-z
to your
user profile by running:
nix profile install github:ejpcmac/git-z
Alternatively, you can add git-z
to your development environment by setting
up a flake.nix
like this:
Click to expand the example
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs";
flake-parts.url = "github:hercules-ci/flake-parts";
git-z.url = "github:ejpcmac/git-z";
};
outputs = { flake-parts, ... }@inputs:
flake-parts.lib.mkFlake { inherit inputs; } {
systems = [ "x86_64-linux" ];
perSystem = { inputs', ... }:
let
pkgs = inputs'.nixpkgs.legacyPackages;
git-z = inputs'.git-z.packages.git-z;
in
{
devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [
# Tools
git-z
# Other dependencies
];
};
};
};
}
Installation from the Debian package
If you are a Debian user—or of derivatives like Ubuntu—, you can install
git-z
by running:
curl -OL https://github.com/ejpcmac/git-z/releases/download/v0.2.1/git-z_0.2.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./git-z_0.2.1-1_amd64.deb
Installation from the MSI package
If you are a Windows user, you can download an MSI package on the the release page and install it. You may need to allow its execution by doing Right Click > Properties, then checking the Unblock box in the security section at the bottom of the page.
Installation from a pre-built binary
If you are a user of any other Linux distribution, macOS or Windows,
you can download a statically-linked executable on the release
page. Just rename it to
git-z
—or git-z.exe
on Windows—and put it somewhere in your PATH
.
Installation with Cargo
If you are a Rust programmer, you can install git-z
by running:
cargo install git-z
Usage
Run:
git add <your modifications>
git z commit
You can customise the behaviour of git-z
:
- define the list of valid types with their description,
- choose whether to ask for a scope,
- define a list pre-defined valid scopes,
- ask or require a ticket / issue number.
To do this, initialise a configuration by running:
git z init
Then, edit the git-z.toml
at the root of your repository.
Building an installer
Linux (Debian)
From inside a Nix devshell, you can run:
$ build-deb
You should then find a Debian package in
target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debian/
.
Windows
With a Rust toolchain installed on your machine, you can:
-
Install WiX v3.
-
Run:
> cargo install cargo-wix > cargo wix --package git-z --nocapture
You should find an installer in target/wix/
.
