Configuration

package.json

Like commitizen, you specify the configuration of cz-conventional-changelog through the package.json's config.commitizen key.

{
// ...  default values
    "config": {
        "commitizen": {
            "path": "./node_modules/cz-conventional-changelog",
            "disableScopeLowerCase": false,
            "disableSubjectLowerCase": false,
            "maxHeaderWidth": 100,
            "maxLineWidth": 100,
            "defaultType": "",
            "defaultScope": "",
            "defaultSubject": "",
            "defaultBody": "",
            "defaultIssues": "",
            "types": {
              ...
              "feat": {
                "description": "A new feature",
                "title": "Features"
              },
              ...
            },
            "scopes": {}
        }
    }
// ...
}

Custom Scopes

Following the example for custom types, you can build custom scopes in the package.json's config.commitizen key.

{
  // ...
  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "scopes": {
        ...
        "config": {
          "description": "A configuration level change",
          "title": "Configuration"
        },
        ...
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment variables

The following environment variables can be used to override any default configuration or package.json based configuration.

• CZ_TYPE = defaultType
• CZ_SCOPE = defaultScope
• CZ_SUBJECT = defaultSubject
• CZ_BODY = defaultBody
• CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH = maxHeaderWidth
• CZ_MAX_LINE_WIDTH = maxLineWidth

Commitlint

If using the commitlint js library, the "maxHeaderWidth" configuration property will default to the configuration of the "header-max-length" rule instead of the hard coded value of 100. This can be ovewritten by setting the 'maxHeaderWidth' configuration in package.json or the CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH environment variable.
