# cz-universal-git-jira-conventional

**cz-universal-git-jira-conventional** is a plugin for the [**commitizen tools**](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen), a toolset that helps you to create [**conventional commit messages**](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/). Since the structure of conventional commits messages is standardized they are machine readable and allow commitizen to automaticially calculate and tag [**semantic version numbers**](https://semver.org/) as well as create **CHANGELOG.md** files for your releases.

This plugin extends the commitizen tools by:
- **require a Jira issue id** in the commit message
- **create links to GitHub** commits in the CHANGELOG.md
- **create links to Jira** issues in the CHANGELOG.md

When you call commitizen `commit` you will be required you to enter the scope of your commit as a Jira issue id (or multiple issue ids, prefixed or without prefix, see config below).
```
> cz commit
? Select the type of change you are committing fix: A bug fix. Correlates with PATCH in SemVer
? JIRA issue number (multiple "42, 123"). XX-
...
```

The changelog created by cz (`cz bump --changelog`)will contain links to the commits in Github and the Jira issues.

## Installation

Install with pip
`python -m pip install cz-universal-git-jira-conventional` 

You need to use a cz config file that has the **required** additional values `jira_base_url` and `github_repo` and may contain the **optional** value `jira_prefix`.

Example `.cz.yaml` config for this repository
```yaml
commitizen:
  git_repo_url: https://github.com/hmarcuzzo/cz-universal-git-jira-conventional
  jira_base_url: https://myproject.atlassian.net
  jira_prefix: XX-
  name: cz_universal_git_jira_conventional
  tag_format: v$version
  version: 1.1.0
```

The `jira_prefix` can be either 
- empty (the user must write the prefix for each issue)
- a string (the prefix will be added automatically)
- a list (for multiple projects, the user will be asked to choose a prefix)

```yaml
  jira_prefix: 
    - XX-
    - XY-
    - YY-
```

### pre-commit
Add this plugin to the dependencies of your commit message linting with `pre-commit`. 

Example `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file.
