Example installing completions:
# Bash
cog generate-completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/cog
# Bash (macOS/Homebrew)
cog generate-completions bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/cog.bash-completion

mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
cog generate-completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/cog.fish
# Zsh
cog generate-completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_cog
Introduction
Cocogitto comes with a single binary named cog.
Use the --help to display options and usage about a specific subcommand :
cog --help
cog changelog --help
# And so on...
Note that if you do not care about automatic release, changelog generation and just want to create conventional commit message you can jump to the conventional commits section.
Conventional commits
cog commit is primarily meant to be used as a replacement for the git commit command. It will produce commits with messages respecting the conventional commits specification with little effort.
Example :
# With git commit
git commit -m "feat: implement the parser specification"
# With cocogitto
cog commit feat "implement the parser specification"
Using cog commit while working on a project using conventional commits is less verbose than good old git cli and prevent typos and common mistake when writing conventional commit messages.
See User guide -> Conventional commits for more information.
Repository management
While local commit are made with the cog commit command, other cog subcommands are meant to manage your repository both locally and in a CI context. For an in depth guide on how to use it see User guide.
