history

Project history and usage

Convco is a Rust command-line tool for teams that use Conventional Commits to validate commit ranges, generate changelogs, assist commits, and calculate semantic versions.

Project history

The upstream repository was created in November 2019, and the crate was published on crates.io in December 2019. Its README frames the tool as a Conventional Commit CLI and documents a small set of release-engineering commands rather than a broad Git wrapper.

Adoption history

Convco's distribution follows Rust tooling norms: `cargo install convco` is the upstream installation path, crates.io tracks the package, and the input package facts show additional Homebrew and Nix packaging for users who prefer system package managers.

How it is used

Common workflows include `convco check` in hooks or CI, `convco changelog` for changelog generation, `convco version --bump` for release calculation, and `convco commit` as an interactive Conventional Commit helper or Git editor.

Why package nerds care

Convco is the sort of compact, single-binary release helper package that package managers like: it exposes one executable, has no credentials surface, and bridges Git history conventions with reproducible release automation.

Timeline

2019-11-14: Official GitHub repository created.
2019-12-26: crates.io package created.
2026-05-24: v0.6.4 release published.

Related projects

The README explicitly connects Convco to Conventional Commits, conventional-changelog, the conventional-changelog config specification, Git editor integration, and cargo-release usage.
