How to use Commitizen - Unify commit messages

Introduction

  • I often get lost when entering a commit message
  • Commit messages are not unified and not simple

Due to such concerns, I have introduced Commitizen this time.

What is Commitizen?

Official page
https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli

Type 'git cz' to see your choices.
It's a tool that allows you to create simple and easy-to-understand commit messages just by answering interactively.
