This command is useful for newcomers, or when you don't remember the meaning of each change type. It will display a prompt which will guide the user in the commit creation.
cz commitgit cz commitAutomatic version bump with changelog generation.
cz bump --changelogNote: The --changelog flag is not required if update_changelog_on_bump = true
If you don't want to generate a tag and bump the version, run:
cz changelogThis will create a changelog with unreleased commits, alternatively, you can run
cz changelog --incrementalto add only the missing changes. This is useful if you have manually modified your changelog.
This command will tell you if there are any valid or invalid commit messages in the given range.
You can also add it to .pre-commit hooks or manually as a git hook.

cz check --rev-range ugnu348hg84hg84g..j8fj84g84h84hg83h2392You can also check against the last version:
cz check --rev-range "$(cz version -p).."The recommendation is to run cz init which will help you create the
right configuration and file.

[tool.commitizen]
