cz check skip merge messages

[manang]

Hi, is it possible to skip the check of messages like "merge branch"
So, the idea is that I want to skip the check of messages that match a regex.
Thanks

commitizen skips "merge" automatically. we're working on make it configurable, but this is not available as of now. another way is to configure through https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/customization/

I'm talking of cz check

this is an example of the commit message that bitbucket generates automatically:
`Merge: 792e33e 6bbfe0e
Author: Angelo Mantellini
Date: Thu Feb 10 20:24:26 2022 +0000

Pull request #74: Merge release bugfixes into devel

Merge in myteam/repo from master to devel

* commit '6bbfe0ee00765b1572050931da01c11ed79e6ab6': (2 commits)
  bump: version 1.9.0b0 → 1.9.0
  ...

`

cz check returns a different value than 0.
My problem is that in this case I can't customise the merge messages.
Thanks a lot for your answer

That's a bit weird as this should be skipped here. Could you please provide the version you test on?

[manang]

I'm checking why my "cz check" fails...thanks, I will report here..

[manang]

ok, bitbucket merge commit is like:
Pull request #636: Merge release bugfixes into devel
so, the problem is there.
Thanks

hmmm... interesting. I'm thinking of using re to check to support more format. @woile what do you think?

[woile]

I was not aware of this check, I think is worth adding Pull request to the list.
I think the ideal solution would be to have a setting users can set with commit messages to be skipped, besides the defaults

[manang]

can I create pull request adding pull request to the list?
let me know, I can do today.
Thanks

[Lee-W]

@manang Yes, that would be most appreciated. Many thanks!

[manang]

Hi, can you tell me why my pull request fails?
#487
thanks

[manang]

I understood the problem, thanks

[manang]

no, I don't understand, there is an error outside the part that I changed.
can you help me? thanks

[manang]

how long do you need to create the debian package with the correction of cz?
Thanks

[woile]

We do not maintain a debian package afaik.

The installation methods are listed here: https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/#installation

Looking at them, I'm thinking we should review them. Probably nowadays is best to use something like pipx, or pip install --user instead of sudo.
And maybe we can provide something like a binary using pyinstaller 🤔

[manang]

ah, it is true...thanks a lot for your support
