rewrite-commits
Rewrites commit messages to adhere to the Conventional Commits standard.
Usage
git-wrangler rewrite-commitsThis command takes no arguments.
What it does
Rewrites the commit messages of Git repositories to adhere to the Conventional Commits standard. It categorizes commits based on file paths and statuses to automatically determine the type (e.g., feat, fix, docs, chore) and scope. Commits that already conform to the standard are left unchanged.
Type detection logic
| Condition | Assigned type |
|---|---|
Only doc files changed (.md, .txt, docs/) | docs |
Only test files changed (test/, spec/, *.test.*) | test |
Only config files changed (.yml, .json, Makefile) | chore |
| Source files added (no deletions) | feat |
| Source files modified/mixed | fix |
| Everything else | chore |
Prerequisites
git-filter-repomust be installed
