How to add custom commit types? about cz-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

What about just adding types, instead of types blinding overriding base spec?

from cz-cli.

Almost 5 years later, but is there any "easier" solution to this rather than forking and publishing an adapter?

from cz-cli.

The easiest way to do this is to create an adapter.

To do this:

1. Fork the commitizen/cz-conventional-changelog repo.
2. Change the package.json's name field to your new adapter name (ie. cz-emcniece-changelog) and set the version field to 1.0.0.
3. Edit index.js to have your custom types.
4. npm publish when you're ready to publish your adapter to npm.
5. In any repo you want to use your new adapter you can just run commitizen init cz-emcniece-changelog --save-dev --save-exact. If the repo already has an adapter installed then you a can add the --force flag to that last command and it will overwrite your old config.

Awesome - thanks so much for the guide!

@talohana You can override all types by specfiing your own inside your projects package.json:

{
  [...]
  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "path": "./node_modules/cz-conventional-changelog",
      "types": {
        "foo": {
          "title": "foo",
          "description": "This is a foo change."
        },
        "bar": {
          "title": "bar",
          "description": "This is a bar change."
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This will replace the already defined types from the adapter. I don't know if there is a way to only add custom types.
