Usage

Semantix keeps track of your projects version number and generates release notes/changelogs automatically. All that needs to be done to leverage Semantix is to format your commits in a specific way.

Commit Format

keyword: A predefined string indicating how much to bump the project version.

scope: An optional argument specifying the scope of the commit -- used in the release process to annotate release tags and generate changelogs.

Mapping specific keyword to release types (major, minor, patch) can be customized and defined in a .semantix.yml configuration file.

keyword: 🍔🥓🍟
keyword(scope): This is my commit message!

🚨 NOTE: Be careful when merging pull requests and using the squash feature. Commit messages need to maintain their specific format in order to be picked up by the semantix commit parser.

Order of Precedence

If no additional options are given to semantix then the default values will be used. Otherwise, values will be read from the the command line --options first and the missing variables filled in with the .semantix.yml configuration file.

It is recommended to use .semantix.yml for all your configuration and only use the command line --options as overrides.
