Commitizen: Is there a way to override standard `git commit`?

Any commitizen users here?

Wanted behavior:

  1. install commitizen
  2. run git commit
  3. see the same nice menu as when running git cz

Current behavior:

  1. install commitizen
  2. run git commit
  3. NO nice menu as when running git cz, just default git interface

yes you can do it with the git hooks. Just do the following as it is written on the https://commitizen.github.io/cz-cli/ site.

Add in the file .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg (if the file is not present just create it) in your root folder of the project following lines:

#!/bin/bash exec < /dev/tty && node_modules/.bin/git-cz --hook || true

If the file is already there just add the exec line and git commit will now show the same menu as when git cz.

The commitizen/cz-cli project suggests:

Now, simply use git cz instead of git commit when committing.

If git-cz is in your PATH, you can call git cz. But it won't overshadow git commit, simply offer a different alternative.
