## What it is
git-cz is a CLI tool for writing semantic, emoji-decorated Conventional Commit messages interactively. It works standalone via npx or as a Commitizen adapter, with customizable commit types, formats, and prompts.

## Use cases
- write conventional commit messages interactively
- add emojis to git commits
- enforce semantic commit format across a team
- use commitizen without installing cz-cli
- customize commit types and prompts per repo
- generate commit messages non-interactively in scripts

## When to choose
- you want Commitizen-style semantic commits with emoji support and zero-config npx usage
- you need a customizable commit prompt format via changelog.config.js

## When to avoid
- you need full Conventional Commits spec compliance with changelog/scope validation tooling
- you want a maintained tool with an explicit license file in the repo

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active

- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli, cross-platform
