In your terminal run cz commit or the shortcut cz c to generate a guided git commit.
A commit can be signed off using cz commit --signoff or the shortcut cz commit -s.
You can run cz commit --write-message-to-file COMMIT_MSG_FILE to additionally save the
generated message to a file. This can be combined with the --dry-run flag to only
write the message to a file and not modify files and create a commit. A possible use
case for this is to automatically prepare a commit message.
!!! note
To maintain platform compatibility, the commit command disable ANSI escaping in its output.
In particular pre-commit hooks coloring will be deactivated as discussed in commitizen-tools/commitizen#417.
