history
Project history and usage
czg is the command-line front end in the cz-git project, aimed at developers who want an interactive Commitizen-style prompt that emits Conventional Commits-compatible Git messages.
Project history
The cz-git repository was created in 2022 and describes itself as both a Commitizen adapter and a Git commit CLI. Its documentation presents czg as the direct CLI path for users who want the prompt without wiring the adapter through Commitizen first.
Adoption history
The project sits in the Node.js Git tooling ecosystem: the README links the czg npm package and the Homebrew formula, while the docs show czg as a standalone command that extends normal git commit options.
How it is used
Typical use is to run czg in a Git worktree, answer prompts for type, scope, subject, and related metadata, and let the tool call through to git commit. The CLI also documents subcommands and OpenAI-assisted commit-message options, with local API settings stored in the czg config file.
Why package nerds care
For package-manager users, czg is interesting because it packages a JavaScript commit workflow as a small executable command, making Conventional Commits prompts available through npm and Homebrew rather than only through project-local dev dependencies.
