Comito

Comito is a lightweight and intuitive Ruby CLI tool that provides an interactive interface for crafting commit messages following the Conventional Commits standard in Rails projects (and any Ruby-based project).

gem install comito

Or add it to your project’s Gemfile:

gem "comito"

comito

You’ll be guided through a series of prompts to build your commit message, with the option to confirm and commit directly.

• 🚀 Interactive step-by-step interface to choose commit type (feat, fix, chore, docs, style, refactor, test, etc.).
• 🏷️ Optional scope support for more precise commit descriptions.
• 📝 Automatic commit message formatting according to the Conventional Commits standard.
• 🔧 Option to directly commit via Git after generating the message.
• 📦 Minimal dependencies — fully written in Ruby.
• 🎯 Perfect for Rails developers who want to standardize commit history.
• ⚙️ Easy integration with CI/CD pipelines and Git hooks.

• ❌ No need for Node.js, Rust, or other external tools — 100% Ruby.
• 🖥️ Simple to use — run comito and follow the interactive generator.
• 🔄 Flexible and extensible — easily adapted to your team’s workflow.
• 📚 Keeps your commit history clean and consistent for better collaboration and release management.

Comito allows you to create a custom configuration file comito_config.yml in the root directory of your project.

This file lets you override the default gem settings, such as commit types, scopes, and whether to confirm commit messages before committing.

Example config comito_config.yml:

types:
  feat: "A new feature"

scopes:
  ruby: "Ruby code"

confirm_commit_message: false

• Comito looks for the file comito_config.yml in the current directory (Dir.pwd)
• If the file exists, the settings are loaded from it.
• If the file does not exist, default values are used.
