Commit Wizard Documentation

Commit Wizard (cw) is a lightweight CLI tool that helps teams enforce Conventional Commits, manage Semantic Versioning, and automate changelog generation.

Commit Wizard should feel like “a spellbook for your commits” — simple recipes, powerful results.

It guides developers like an experienced mentor, ensures consistency for teams, and gives CI/CD pipelines strict, reproducible enforcement.

🔑 Design Philosophy

Commit Wizard is built around a few core principles:

  • Guided, not restrictive → help developers without blocking them
  • Simple mental model → one config at a time, explicit overrides
  • Portable & reliable → works the same on Linux, macOS, Windows, Docker/Podman
  • CI-friendly → interactive for devs, strict for automation
  • Conventional Commits first → feat and fix always enforced by default; teams can extend
