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. ### 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.
