Repository initialization
To get the most out of cocogitto you need to have a cog.toml
config at the root of your repository. You can create this file manually or generate the default one with cog init
.
Create a new repository
mkdir my_repo && cd my_repo
cog init
cog init
works like git init
except it create a template cog.toml
config file, and an initial commit with the following message : chore: initial commit
.
You can specify the target path of the repository you want to create :
cog init my_repo
Initialize an existing repo
Running cog init
on an existing repository will just create a template configuration without creating any commit :
git init my_repo && cd my_repo
cog init
❯ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
new file: cog.toml
Conventional commits
cog commit
allows you to easily create commits respecting the conventional commits specification. It comes with a set of predefined arguments named after conventional commit types and Angular commit convention : (feat
, fix
, style
, build
, refactor
, ci
, test
, perf
, chore
, revert
, docs
).
As described in the specification conventional commits messages are structured as follows :
<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
All cog commit
type subcommands follow the same structure :
cog commit [FLAGS] <type> <message> [scope]
Note that the commit scope comes after the commit description. This allows using positional arguments instead of typing a scope flag every time.
Example :
If you want to create the following commit : feat: add awesome feature
:
# With cog
cog commit feat "add awesome feature"
# With git
git commit -m "feat: add awesome feature"
Helpful error messages
Using cog commit
should prevent a wide range of error in your conventional commit message. But if you still made a mistake, cog
will display an error explaining what went wrong :
❯ cog commit feat "add ability to parse arrays" "sco(pe"
Error: A scope value cannot contains inner parenthesis
Caused by:
--> 1:9
|
1 | feat(sco(pe): add ability to parse arrays
| ^---
|
= expected no_parenthesis
Breaking changes
All cog commit
arguments are positional except the optional -B
flag used to create breaking changes commits :
cog commit fix -B "add fix a nasty bug" cli
This would create the following breaking change commit : fix(cli)!: fix a nasty bug
.
cog commit
use the !
notation to denote breaking changes commit because it can be easily seen in your git log, however if you manually create breaking changes commits with the footer notation cocogitto tools will still pick them.
Commit Body and footers
If you need to create more complex commit messages with body and footers use the --edit
flag.
Example:
cog commit refactor -e -B "drop support for Node 6" runtime
This would open the following commit message template in your $EDITOR
of choice :
# Enter the commit message for your changes.
# Lines starting with # will be ignored, and empty body/footer are allowed.
# Once you are done, save the changes and exit the editor.
# Remove all non-comment lines to abort.
#
# WARNING: This will be marked as a breaking change!
refactor(runtime): drop support for Node 6
# Message body
# Message footer
# For example, foo: bar
Upon save a commit will be created with the body and footer typed.
TIP
There are two kinds of footer separators in conventional commits : token: message
and token #message
.
GitHub automatically link issues prefixed with a hash.
Example:
feat(changelog): add full_hash changelog template
Closes #127
Custom commit types
Allowing custom commit types: By default cog commit
supports standard conventional commits type feat
, fix
plus the angular commit types: build
, ci
, revert
, docs
, test
, style
, chore
, perf
. If you want to use more types you can add them to a file named cog.toml
in your repository root directory :
[commit_types]
hotfix = { changelog_title = "Hotfixes" }
release = { changelog_title = "Releases" }
The above config would generate a cog commit hotfix
and cog commit release
subcommands following the same structure as the default ones.
Overriding existing commit types:
Existing commit type can be overridden just like custom ones:
[commit_types]
feat = { changelog_title = "➕ Additional features" }
fix = { changelog_title = "🪲 Releases" }
Omit commits from changelog:
If you want to make changelog more concise you can skip some commit types with the omit_from_changelog
option.
[commit_types]
chore = { changelog_title = "", omit_from_changelog = true }
ci = { changelog_title = "", omit_from_changelog = true }
perf = { changelog_title = "", omit_from_changelog = true }
Deal with merge commits
By default, git will write the following message to merge commit : Merge my 'branch'
. These merge commits do not respect the Conventional Commits specification, and we strongly advise avoiding them by setting the following in your .gitconfig
:
[merge]
ff = only
That said you can simply make Cocogitto ignore merge commits by setting the following in your cog.toml
:
ignore_merge_commits = true
Check commit history
Running cog check
will check your commit history against the conventional commit specification :
❯ cog check
No errored commits
Let us create an invalid commit :
git commit -m "Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries"
And check our commit history again :
❯ cog check
Error:
Found 1 non compliant commits in db5151..HEAD:
________________________________________________________
Errored commit: db5151486a41f1b694fd8f90144dd02c87268988 <Paul Delafosse>
Commit message: 'Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries'
Error: Missing commit type separator `:`
Caused by:
--> 1:5
|
1 | Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries
| ^---
|
= expected scope or type_separator
TIP
You can check your history, starting from the latest tag using --from-latest-tag
or -l
flag.
This is useful when your git repo started to use conventional commits from a certain point in history and you don't care about editing old commits.
Managing git-hooks
Cocogitto provide a way to share git hooks.
First you need to set up some hooks in cog.toml
:
# Embedded git-hooks script
[git_hooks.commit-msg]
script = """#!/bin/sh
set -e
cog verify --file $1
cog check
cargo fmt -v --all --check
cargo clippy
"""
# Or file path
[git_hooks.pre-push]
path = "hooks/pre-push.sh"
WARNING
Not that unlike git commit
, cog commit
will not pick a default shell when running hooks. Make sure to provide a shebang in your hook definition.
Now that our hook are defined in cocogitto's config they can be installed with cog install-hook
.
Install all git-hooks:
❯ cog install-hook --all
Install a single hook:
❯ cog install-hook commit-msg
Sandbox
cog verify
checks an arbitrary input string against the conventional commit specification. It will not create any commit.
Example:
❯ cog verify "Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries"
Error: Missing commit type separator `:`
Caused by:
--> 1:5
|
1 | Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries
| ^---
|
= expected scope or type_separator
Rewrite non-compliant commits
DANGER
Using cog edit
will modify your commit history and change the commit SHA of edited commit and their child.
Once you have spotted invalid commits you can quickly fix your commit history by running cog edit
. This will perform an automatic rebase, cycling through each malformed commit, and letting you edit them with your $EDITOR
of choice.
Example :
# Editing commit c2bb56b93821ff34282f322be4d2231f53b9ada8
# Replace this message with a conventional commit compliant one
# Save and exit to edit the next errored commit
Your Mother Was A Hamster, And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries
TIP
You can use the --from-latest-tag
or -l
to edit only commits since the latest tag in your repository.
Conventional commit log
cog log
is just like git log
but it displays additional conventional commit information, such as commit scope, commit type etc.
TIP
You can filter the log content with the following flags :
-B
: display breaking changes only-t
: filter on commit types-a
: filter on commit authors-s
: filter on commit scopes-e
: ignore non compliant commits
Those flag can be combined to achieve complex search in your commit history :
cog log --author "Paul Delafosse" "Mike Lubinets" --type feat --scope cli --no-error
Changelogs
cog changelog
can generate changelog automatically.
Let's assume the following history :
* e3ff26a - (HEAD -> master) feat!: implement parser specification <Paul Delafosse>
* 78dedea - feat: a commit <Paul Delafosse>
* c361eea - feat: say hello to the world <Paul Delafosse>
* 6d014b4 - chore: initial commit <Paul Delafosse>
Let us now get a changelog :
cog changelog
## 0.2.0 - 2021-11-10
#### Features
- **(hello)** say hello to the galaxy - (da4af95) - Paul Delafosse
#### Refactoring
- **(hello)** say hello to the martians - (22db158) - Paul Delafosse
- - -
## 0.1.0 - 2021-11-10
#### Features
- implement parser specification - (e3ff26a) - Paul Delafosse
- a commit - (78dedea) - Paul Delafosse
- say hello to the world - (c361eea) - Paul Delafosse
As you can see above a changelog is generated for each semver compliant tag.
TIP
You can specify a custom changelog range or tag like so :
# Display the changelog between `^1` and `2.0.0`
cog changelog --at 2.0.0
# From `8806a5` to `1.0.0`
cog changelog 8806a5..1.0.0
# From `8806a5` to `HEAD`
cog changelog 8806a55..
# From first commit to `1.0.0`
cog changelog 8806a5..1.0.0
Built-in templates
A raw changelog is nice, but its even nicer to generate some links for repository hosted on git web platforms such as GitHub. To do this you can use the --template
or t
flag. Cocogitto comes with three pre built templates:
default
The default template we saw in the previous section
full_hash
A changelog template tailored for GitHub releases
cog changelog --template hull_hash
#### Features
- da4af95b223bb8942ffd289d1a62d930c80d7bbd - **(hello)** say hello to the galaxy - @oknozor
#### Refactoring
- 22db158f6c75aa5e9e7d4ed4a5b5af7b147453d7 - **(hello)** say hello to the martians - @oknozor
- - -
#### Features
- e3ff26a8247b9690ce241e9843eea595bcac8d06 - implement parser specification - @oknozor
- 78dedeaf5e7222cd338627f7ee982e271a3f9a4c - a commit - Paul Delafosse
- c361eeae958a0a28041aecfed10091dc0e6768dd - say hello to the world - @oknozor
Below is the changelog as rendered by GitHub release, notice how the committer git signature as been replaced by their github username. To do that you need to tell cocogitto about your contributor's username in cog.toml
:
[changelog]
authors = [
{ username = "oknozor", signature = "Paul Delafosse" }
]
remote
A template generating links for web platform hosted repository.
cog changelog --at 0.1.0 -t remote --remote github.com --owner oknozor --repository cocogitto
As you can see below a changelog is generated with full links to issues, tags, diff and usernames according to the provided remote, owner and repository flags.
## [0.1.0](https://github.com/oknozor/cocogitto/compare/6d014b40f552fc1ad08f574fe33355175b0783ff..0.1.0) - 2021-11-11
#### Features
- implement parser specification - ([e3ff26a](https://github.com/oknozor/cocogitto/commit/e3ff26a8247b9690ce241e9843eea595bcac8d06)) - [@oknozor](https://github.com/oknozor)
- a commit - ([78dedea](https://github.com/oknozor/cocogitto/commit/78dedeaf5e7222cd338627f7ee982e271a3f9a4c)) - [@oknozor](https://github.com/oknozor)
- say hello to the world - ([c361eea](https://github.com/oknozor/cocogitto/commit/c361eeae958a0a28041aecfed10091dc0e6768dd)) - [@oknozor](https://github.com/oknozor)
TIP
To avoid typing the remote information and changelog template everytime you can set some default values in cog.toml
.
Here is the config used by cocogitto itself.
[changelog]
path = "CHANGELOG.md"
template = "remote"
remote = "github.com"
repository = "cocogitto"
owner = "cocogitto"
authors = [
{ signature = "Paul Delafosse", username = "oknozor" },
{ signature = "Jack Dorland", username = "jackdorland" },
{ signature = "Mike Lubinets", username = "mersinvald" },
{ signature = "Marcin Puc", username = "tranzystorek-io" },
{ signature = "Renault Fernandes", username = "renaultfernandes" },
{ signature = "Pieter Joost van de Sande", username = "pjvds" },
{ signature = "orhun", username = "orhun" },
{ signature = "Danny Tatom", username = "its-danny" },
]
Custom templates
If you are not happy with the default you can create your own changelog template. Internally cocogitto uses tera template engine to render changelogs.
Also see template reference.
Example:
{% for type, typed_commits in commits | sort(attribute="type")| group_by(attribute="type")%}
#### {{ type | upper_first }}
{% for scope, scoped_commits in typed_commits | group_by(attribute="scope") %}
{% for commit in scoped_commits | sort(attribute="scope") %}
{% if commit.author %}
{% set author = "@" ~ commit.author %}
{% else %}
{% set author = commit.signature %}
{% endif %}
- {{ commit.id }} - **({{ scope }})** {{ commit.summary }} - {{ author }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% for commit in typed_commits | unscoped %}
{% if commit.author %}
{% set author = "@" ~ commit.author %}
{% else %}
{% set author = commit.signature %}
{% endif %}
- {{ commit.id }} - {{ commit.summary }} - {{ author }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Automatic versioning
The purpose of conventional commits is to be able to bump your project version and changelog automatically. Cocogitto allow you to do this with the cog bump
command.
The bump
subcommand will execute the following steps :
- Calculate the next version based on the commit types since the latest tag.
- Execute a set configuration defined pre-bump hooks.
- Append the changes for this version to
CHANGELOG.md
. - Create a version commit containing changes made during the previous steps.
- Create a git tag on the version commit.
- Execute a set of configuration defined post-bump hook.
Auto bump
cog bump
will calculate the next version based on your commit history since the latest semver tag. Once a tag number as been calculated it will create a tagged commit containing the changelog for this new tag.
Example:
Assuming we are working on the following git repository :
* 8e08b78 - (HEAD -> master) feat: another cool feature <Paul Delafosse>
* 490b846 - docs: add some documentation <Paul Delafosse>
* 8bc0d28 - fix: fix a ugly bug <Paul Delafosse>
* a0c9050 - feat: add awesome feature <Paul Delafosse>
* 6d014b4 - chore: initial commit <Paul Delafosse>
Let us now create a version :
❯ cog bump --auto
Warning: using 'cog bump' with the default configuration.
You may want to create a 'cog.toml' file in your project root to configure bumps.
Failed to get current version, falling back to 0.0.0

Changelog generated by [cocogitto](https://github.com/cocogitto/cocogitto).
Also see template config if you need to change the default changelog template.
TIP
Sometimes getting a version number automatically is not what you want. Cocogitto let you specify the target version with the following flags :
--auto
: choose the next version for you (based on feature commit, bug fixes commit and BREAKING_CHANGE commit).--major
: increment the MAJOR version.--minor
: increment the MINOR version.--patch
: increment the PATCH version.--version <version>
: set version manually ( ex :cog bump --version 3.2.1
).--pre <metadata>
: set the pre-release metatada.
Example:
cog bump --major --pre "beta.1"
# 1.2.3 -> 2.0.0-beta.1
Note: cog bump --auto
treats 0.y.z
versions specially, i.e. it will never do an auto bump to the 1.0.0
version, even if there are breaking changes. That way, you can keep adding features in the development stage and decide yourself, when your API is stable.
Dry run
If you just need to get the next version number without performing the automatic bump use the --dry-run
flag :
cog bump --dry-run --auto
TIP
The dry-run
flag can be helpful when writing shell scritps using cocogitto. Since only the version number will output to stdout so you can do the following:
VERSION=$(cog bump --dry-run --auto) # -> VERSION=1.0.0
Bump hooks
Pre bump hooks
Creating git tag automatically is great, but sometimes you need to edit some file with the new version number, or perform some additional checks before doing so.
A typical example is editing your project manifest in your package manager configuration file. You can run pre bump commands with the latest
and version
aliases to reference respectively the latest known tag and the target version.
Example:
When adding the following hooks to cog.toml
, the hook commands will be run before creating the version commit :
# cog.toml
pre_bump_hooks = [
"cargo build --release",
"echo 'bumping from {{latest}} to {{version}}'",
"cargo bump {{version}}",
]
And result in the following bump:
❯ cog bump --auto
Skipping irrelevant commits:
Found feature commit 9055d9
Compiling my_awesome_repo v0.1.0 (/home/okno/_Workshop/MyRepos/my_awesome_repo)
Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.86s
bump from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0
Bumped version: 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0
TIP
If any of the pre-bump command fails cocogitto will abort the bump. Any changes made to the repository during the pre-bump phase will be stashed under cog_bump_{{version}}
.
Example:
cog.toml :
pre_bump_hooks = [
"cargo build --release",
"echo 'bump from {{latest}} to {{version}}'",
"exit 1" # Fail on purpose here
]
run :
❯ cog bump --auto
Skipping irrelevant commits:
Found bug fix commit a0de11
Compiling my_awesome_repo v0.2.0 (/home/okno/_Workshop/MyRepos/my_awesome_repo)
Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.22s
bump from 0.2.0 to 0.2.1
Error: prehook run `exit 1` failed
All changes made during hook runs have been stashed on `cog_bump_0.2.1`
you can run `git stash apply stash@0` to restore these changes.
Post bump hooks
Post-bump hooks works exactly like pre-bum hooks. They are run after the version has been created and are typically used to push changes to the remote, publish packages and apply branching model strategies.
# cog.toml
post_bump_hooks = [
"git push",
"git push origin {{version}}",
"cargo publish"
]
DANGER
There is no rollback procedure for post-bump hook, on failure cog will abort and leave the repository in an undefined state. We are working on allowing user to define there rollback procedures, but it is not there yet.
Version DSL
It is common to bump your development branch version package manifest after creating a new release. A typical example in the java world would be to bump your maven snapshot on your development branch after a release.
# cog.toml
post_bump_hooks = [
"git push",
"git push origin {{version}}",
"git checkout develop",
"git rebase master",
"mvn versions:set -DnewVersion={{version+minor-SNAPSHOT}}",
"cog commit chore \"bump snapshot to {{version+1minor-SNAPSHOT}}\"",
"git push",
]
As you can see we are bumping the manifest using a small DSL. It as only a few keywords :
- start with the one of
version
,version_tag
,latest
,latest_tag
orpackage
keyword. - followed by the
+
operator. major
,minor
andpatch
to specify the kind of increment you want. Then an optional amount, default being one (version+1minor
andversion+minor
being the same).- followed by any number of
+{amount}{kind}
(exemple:version+2major+1patch
) - ended by any alphanumeric character (SemVer additional labels for pre-release and build metadata), here
-SNAPSHOT
.
Bump profiles
For some branching model or release cadence you might want to bump your versions with different hooks.
To do so you can define alternate profile hooks in cog.toml
:
[bump_profiles.hotfix]
pre_bump_hooks = [
# Ensure we are performing a bump from the latest release branch
"""
[[ "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" == "release/{{latest}}" ]] && echo "On branch release/{{latest}}" || exit 1
""",
]
post_bump_hooks = []
Once your custom hook profile is set you can call it with the --hook-profile
flag :
❯ cog bump -h hotfix --auto
Skipping irrelevant commits:
Found feature commit 5b21b3
Found bug fix commit a0de11
[[ $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) == release/0.2.0 ]] && echo On branch release/0.2.0 || exit 1
On branch release/0.2.0
Bumped version: 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0
Note that for the sake of readability in this documentation, the above example use a oneliner to check the current branch but you would probably want to can a shell script instead :
pre_bump_hooks = [
"""
sh -c "./check_branch.sh"
""",
]
Branch whitelist
It is a common practice to bump always from the same set of branches. For instance, you might want to allow bumping only on branch main
and branches prefixed with release/
.
To do so add the following to your cog.toml
:
branch_whitelist = [
"main",
"release/**"
]
Automatic versioning for monorepo
Managing versions for mono-repository is slightly different from the standard Cocogitto flow. Instead of the standard bump steps using cog bump --auto
on a mono-repository will perform the following actions:
- Calculate next version for each package based on commits that changes the package content.
- Calculate a global version based on the created package versions and the commit that does not belong to a specific package.
- Execute global pre-bump hooks.
- Execute per package pre-bump hooks.
- Append the changes for each package to
{package_path}/CHANGELOG.md
. - Append global changes and a list of package version to
/CHANGELOG.md
. - Create a version commit containing changes made during the previous steps.
- Create global git tag on the version commit.
- Create a tag for each new package version on the version commit.
- Execute per package post-bump hooks.
- Execute global post-bump hooks.
Mono-repository bump
When using cog bump
in a mono-repository context, it behaves slightly differently.
cog bump --auto
: creates a tag per changed packages since their respective latest releases and creates a global mono-repository tag.cog bump
used why manual bump flags such as--minor
,--major
,--patch
or--version
will only create the monorepo version without bumping packages.cog bump --package=my_package --auto
creates a single package tag from the latest package tag
TIP
We strongly advise to use automatic bump whenever possible. Manual bump should only be used when there are changes that Cocogitto is not able to detect (ex: a breaking change occurring in a package via updating a global dependency).
Packages configuration
To set up mono-repository support you only need to define a list of package in your cog.toml
config. Once packages are defined, cog
will automatically scan your packages during automatic version bump.
Example:
A real life example from oknozor/gill.
[packages]
gill-app = { path = "crates/gill-app" }
gill-authorize-derive = { path = "crates/gill-authorize-derive", public_api = false }
gill-db = { path = "crates/gill-db", public_api = false }
gill-git = { path = "crates/gill-git", public_api = false }
gill-git-server = { path = "crates/gill-git-server" }
gill-markdown = { path = "crates/gill-markdown", public_api = false }
gill-settings = { path = "crates/gill-settings" }
gill-syntax = { path = "crates/gill-syntax" }
gill-web-markdown = { path = "crates/gill-web-markdown" }
syntect-plugin = { path = "crates/syntect-plugin", public_api = false }
TIP
If some of your packages does not belong to your project public API use public_api = false
to prevent --auto
bump from updating the global project version.
Packages hooks
When creating a monorepo version Cocogitto will execute the pre-bump and post-bump hooks normally. Additionally, it will run pre_package_bump_hooks
and post_package_bump_hooks
before and after each package bump. To override these you can define per package hooks.
Example:
## Pre hooks executed before each package bump, here we use a cargo command to bump rust package manifest
pre_package_bump_hooks = [
"echo 'upgrading {{package}}' to {{version}}",
"cargo set-version {{version}}"
]
[packages]
rust-package-one = { path = "packages/rust-one" }
rust-package-two = { path = "packages/rust-two" }
## We have a java project in the mono-repository so we override the default pre-hook
java-package = { path = "packages/java-package", pre_bump_hooks = [ "mvn build" ] }
TIP
Note that for package hooks, you can use the package
variable from version DSL to get the current package name.
Bump hook recipes
Cargo library projects
A recipe for Cargo projects with a git-ignored Cargo.lock
file, aka library projects.
Prerequisites:
cargo-edit
Hooks:
pre_bump_hooks = [
"cargo build --release", # verify the project builds
"cargo set-version {{version}}", # bump version in Cargo.toml
]
post_bump_hooks = [
"git push",
"git push {{version}}",
]
Cargo executable projects
A recipe for Cargo projects with a managed Cargo.lock
file, aka executable projects. Notably, the version bump is also included in the lockfile by running cargo check
and then staging the change before creating the bump commit.
Prerequisites:
cargo-edit
Hooks:
pre_bump_hooks = [
"cargo build --release", # verify the project builds
"cargo set-version {{version}}", # bump version in Cargo.toml
"cargo check --release",
"git add :/Cargo.lock", # stage version bump in Cargo.lock
]
post_bump_hooks = [
"git push",
"git push {{version}}",
]
Java Maven projects
A recipe for Java Maven projects. Notably, the version bump is also included in the pom.xml
project manifest by running mvn versions:set
and then staging the change before creating the bump commit.
You can also run mvn deploy
if this phase is configured in your pom.xml
.
Hooks:
pre_bump_hooks = [
"mvn versions:set -DnewVersion={{version}}",
"mvn clean package",
]
post_bump_hooks = [
"mvn deploy", # Optional
"git push origin {{version}}",
"git push"
]
Tag prefix
It is common to use a tag prefix when creating version in your repository. This is described in the SemVer specification FAQ. This convention provide a handy way to distinguish between release versions and tags that does not represent releases.
To tell cog
to pick only version starting with a prefix set this in your cog.toml
file :
tag_prefix = "v"
Make Cocogitto skip CI CD
The --skip-ci
option of the bump
and commit
commands offers the possibility to skip CI/CD by adding a "skip-ci" string your commits. The default string used by Cocogitto is [skip ci]
but you can override it with your own string :
- Using the
skip_ci
configuration in thecog.toml
. - Using the
--skip-ci-override
option of thebump
andcommit
commands.
Note that the --skip-ci-override
option has precedence over the skip_ci
configuration in the cog.toml
.
Example:
❯ cog bump --skip-ci
Result:
❯ git log
commit xxx (HEAD -> main, tag: 1.0.0)
Author: John Doe <jon.doe@unknown.com>
Date: Tue Mar 7 15:06:18 2023 +0200
chore(version): 1.0.0 [skip ci]
Example with cog.toml
configuration:
skip_ci = "[ci-skip]"
❯ cog bump --skip-ci
Result:
❯ git log
commit xxx (HEAD -> main, tag: 1.0.0)
Author: John Doe <jon.doe@unknown.com>
Date: Tue Mar 7 15:06:18 2023 +0200
chore(version): 1.0.0 [ci-skip]
Another example using the --skip-ci-override
option:
❯ cog bump --skip-ci-override "[ci-skip]"
Result:
❯ git log
commit xxx (HEAD -> main, tag: 1.0.0)
Author: John Doe <jon.doe@unknown.com>
Date: Tue Mar 7 15:06:18 2023 +0200
chore(version): 1.0.0 [ci-skip]
Skip untracked or uncommited changes
By default, Cocogitto will abort bump if there are uncommited or untracked changes. You can change this behavior using the skip_untracked
configuration in the cog.toml
file or the --skip-untracked
option of the bump
command. If so, the warning will be printed to stderr
and the bump will continue.
Get the current version
It's sometime needed to display the current version for scripting purpose. You can print the latest SemVer tag on your repo with the get-version
subcommand:
❯ cog get-version
Current version:
5.3.1
To silence the additional info and get only the version use the -v
flag:
❯ cog -v get-version
5.3.1
If working on a monorepo you can also specify the target package:
❯ cog -v get-version --package gill-db
0.1.0
Finally, if you need the command to print a version no matter the state of your repository, you can provide a fallback:
❯ cog get-version --fallback 0.1.0
0.1.0
