Its documentation presents czg as the direct CLI path for users who want the prompt without wiring the adapter through Commitizen first. ### Adoption history The project sits in the Node.js Git tooling ecosystem: the README links the czg npm package and the Homebrew formula, while the docs show czg as a standalone command that extends normal git commit options. ### How it is used Typical use is to run czg in a Git worktree, answer prompts for type, scope, subject, and related metadata, and let the tool call through to git commit. The CLI also documents subcommands and OpenAI-assisted commit-message options, with local API settings stored in the czg config file. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, czg is interesting because it packages a JavaScript commit workflow as a small executable command, making Conventional Commits prompts available through npm and Homebrew rather than only through project-local dev dependencies. ### Timeline - 2022: cz-git repository created. - 2026: v1.13.1 release published. ### Related projects - cz-git is related to Commitizen, commitlint, Conventional Commits, and Git itself. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for czg.
