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. ### Timeline - 2020: Repository created and first rapid series of 0.x changelog releases published. - 2020: `cog.toml` configuration name introduced in the 0.32.1 era. - 2021: 1.0.0 released. - 2023: 6.0.0 adds Docker image support and other release-flow changes. - 2024: 6.2.0 migrates docs to VitePress and expands configuration docs. - 2026: 7.0.0 adds monorepo dependency resolver work and package updates. ### Related projects - Conventional Commits and SemVer are the standards Cocogitto is built around. - cocogitto-action and cocogitto-bot are related GitHub integrations linked from the official docs. - Adjacent changelog/release tools include git-cliff, release-plz, semantic-release, and commitlint. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
