Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI for quickly creating standardized commits in conventional commit format. Define config in a repo JSON file e.g. to define formats and scopes. Can infer types and issue numbers from branches. Colorful interface. Emoji can be used, but also disabled.

Tradeoffs

Long default CLI name so you’ll want to create an alias.
