history
Project history and usage
Cocogitto is a Rust CLI and GitOps toolbox for Conventional Commits and Semantic Versioning. It packages commit-message creation, commit-history checking, changelog generation, version bumping, hooks, and CI integrations into the `cog` command.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in September 2020, and crates.io shows the `cocogitto` crate created later that month. The project README describes it as the Conventional Commits toolbox.
Early changelog entries in 2020 show rapid construction of core features: commit creation, verification, logs, changelog generation, bumping, hooks, and the move to `cog.toml` configuration. Later releases expanded CI/CD, Docker, monorepo workflows, signing support, and generated configuration reference docs.
Adoption history
Cocogitto is distributed through Cargo and several OS package managers. crates.io lists more than 200 thousand downloads, while the input records packaging in Homebrew, apk, Debian, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, Scoop, and zypper.
The official docs also advertise installation through Cargo, Arch Linux, NixOS, Void Linux, Homebrew, and Chocolatey, showing that the project deliberately supports both Rust-native and OS package-manager installation paths.
How it is used
The main binary is `cog`. Users can run `cog commit` to create Conventional Commit messages, `cog check` to validate history, `cog changelog` to generate changelogs, and `cog bump` to derive semantic versions from commit history.
Configuration lives in a repository-root `cog.toml`. The official config reference describes settings for version generation, changelog handling, commit conventions, hooks, and monorepo support.
Why package nerds care
Cocogitto is a package-nerd tool about packages: it automates the release metadata loop around commits, changelogs, SemVer, tags, and CI. It is especially interesting for repos that want release automation without adopting a large hosted release platform.
Its distribution story is also typical of modern Rust CLIs: a Cargo crate is the canonical package, but downstream OS packages make the same single binary available to non-Rust users.
