committed VS precious

I use https://github.com/crate-ci/committed and pre-commit (the python app)

committed just reads commit messages between a range of commits, after resolving refs

For colors, I've found yansi to be great to work with. I then use concolor-control (example) and `concolor-clap (no clap3 support yet, example part 1 and example part 2). As you can see, I also like to organize my colors by the styling role they fill. The only reason I wrapped in that example is its part of the crate's API and didn't want the public API tied to yansi.

While auto-generated changelogs aren't the best, they are better than nothing. Too often I've seen projects without a changelog which is especially annoying when dealing with breaking changes.

I've been considering switching to a changelog generator, either from Conventional Commits or from a folder of files just to avoid merge conflicts with the CHANGELOG file.

If people want enforcement of Conventional Commit, check out https://github.com/crate-ci/committed

It doesn't do commit message checking but if you want to do linting on commit I wrote a tool called precious. It lets you configure any number of tidiers and linters for your project in a single file. It's written in Rust, but it can be used for projects in any language.

If you're still using Code::TidyAll, now is a good time to switch to https://github.com/houseabsolute/precious

Whilst looking I also found precious which seems to sit over the top of all your other linters and allow you to configure and control them all in one place. Never used it but it looks kind of cool.

I submitted this here because I discuss a few Rust programs I've created, precious and ubi. I think it's on-topic, but if the mods disagree, I understand.
