## Installation
### Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
```bash
brew install rona-rs/rona/rona
```
Or, if you prefer to tap explicitly:
```bash
brew tap rona-rs/rona
brew install rona
```
### Cargo (Alternative)
```bash
cargo install rona
```
After installation, initialize Rona (optional, to set your preferred editor):
```bash
rona init [editor] # The editor to use for commit messages (default: nano)
```
## Configuration
Rona supports flexible configuration through TOML files:
- **Global config**: `~/.config/rona.toml` - applies to all projects
- **Project config**: `./.rona.toml` - applies only to the current project (overrides global)
### Configuration Options
```toml
# Editor for commit messages (any command-line editor)
editor = "nano" # Examples: "vim", "zed", "code --wait", "emacs"
# Custom commit types (defaults shown below)
commit_types = [
"feat", # New features
"fix", # Bug fixes
"docs", # Documentation changes
"test", # Adding or updating tests
"chore" # Maintenance tasks
]
# Template for interactive commit message generation
# Available variables: {commit_number}, {commit_type}, {branch_name}, {message}, {date}, {time}, {author}, {email}
template = "{?commit_number}[{commit_number}] {/commit_number}({commit_type} on {branch_name}) {message}"
```
**Note**: When no configuration exists, Rona falls back to: `["chore", "feat", "fix", "test"]`
### Template Configuration
Rona supports customizable templates for interactive commit message generation. You can define how your commit messages are formatted using variables:
**Available Template Variables:**
- `{commit_number}` - The commit number (incremental)
- `{commit_type}` - The selected commit type (feat, fix, etc.)
- `{branch_name}` - The current branch name
- `{message}` - Your input message
- `{date}` - Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- `{time}` - Current time (HH:MM:SS)
- `{author}` - Git author name
- `{email}` - Git author email
**Conditional Blocks:**
You can use conditional blocks to include or exclude content based on whether a variable has a value. This is useful for handling optional elements like commit numbers.
**Syntax:** `{?variable_name}content{/variable_name}`
The content inside the block will only be included if the variable has a non-empty value.
**Example with `-n` flag:**
```toml
# Template with conditional commit number
template = "{?commit_number}[{commit_number}] {/commit_number}({commit_type} on {branch_name}) {message}"
```
**Results:**
- `rona -g` (with commit number): `[42] (feat on new-feature) Add feature`
- `rona -g -n` (without commit number): `(feat on new-feature) Add feature`
This eliminates empty brackets when using the `-n` flag!
**Template Examples:**
```toml
# Default template with conditional commit number
template = "{?commit_number}[{commit_number}] {/commit_number}({commit_type} on {branch_name}) {message}"
# Simple format without commit number
template = "({commit_type}) {message}"
# Conditional date with static text
# Multiple conditional blocks
template = "{?commit_number}#{commit_number} {/commit_number}{?author}by {author} - {/author}{message}"
# Include date and time conditionally
template = "{?date}[{date} {time}] {/date}{commit_type}: {message}"
# Custom format with optional commit number
template = "{?commit_number}Commit {commit_number}: {/commit_number}{commit_type} on {branch_name} - {message}"
```
**Note**: If no template is specified, Rona uses the default format: `{?commit_number}[{commit_number}] {/commit_number}({commit_type} on {branch_name}) {message}`
### Working with Configuration
```bash
# Initialize global configuration
rona init vim # Creates ~/.config/rona.toml
# Initialize project-specific configuration
cd my-project
rona init zed # Creates ./.rona.toml (overrides global)
# Change editor later
rona set-editor "code --wait" # Choose global or project scope interactively
# View current configuration
cat .rona.toml # Project config
cat ~/.config/rona.toml # Global config
# Customize commit types for your project
echo 'commit_types = ["feat", "fix", "refactor", "style", "docs"]' >> .rona.toml
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Workflow
1. Initialize Rona with your preferred editor:
```bash
rona init vim
rona init zed
rona init "code --wait" rona init emacs
rona init
```
2. Stage files while excluding specific patterns:
```bash
rona -a "*.rs"
rona -a "*.rs" "*.tmp" "*.log"
rona -a "target/" "node_modules/"
rona -a "test_*.rs" "*.test.js"
```
3. Generate and edit commit message:
```bash
rona -g
rona -g -i
```
4. Commit and push changes:
```bash
rona -c
rona -c -u
rona -c --unsigned
rona -c -p
rona -c --no-verify
rona -c -u -p
rona -c -p origin main
```
### Advanced Usage
#### Working with Multiple Branches
```bash
# Create and switch to a new feature branch
git checkout -b feature/new-feature
rona -a "*.rs"
rona -g
rona -c -p
# Switch back to main and merge
git checkout main
git merge feature/new-feature
# Or use the sync command to update your branch with latest main
git checkout feature/new-feature
rona sync # Merges main into current branch
# Update branch with rebase instead of merge
rona sync --rebase # Rebases current branch onto main
# Create new branch and sync with develop
rona sync -b develop -n feature/new-feature
# Preview sync operation
rona sync --dry-run
```
#### Handling Large Changes
```bash
# Stage specific directories
rona -a "src/" "tests/"
# Exclude test files while staging
rona -a "src/" -e "test_*.rs"
# Stage everything except specific patterns
rona -a "*" -e "*.log" "*.tmp"
```
#### Using with CI/CD
```bash
# In your CI pipeline
rona init
rona -a "*"
rona -g
rona -c -p --no-verify
```
#### Shell Integration
```bash
# Fish shell
echo "function rona
command rona \$argv
end" >> ~/.config/fish/functions/rona.fish
# Bash
echo 'alias rona="command rona"' >> ~/.bashrc
```
### Common Use Cases
1. **Feature Development**:
```bash
git checkout -b feature/new-feature
rona -a "src/" "tests/"
rona -g rona -c -p
```
2. **Bug Fixes**:
```bash
git checkout -b fix/bug-description
rona -a "src/"
rona -g rona -c -p
```
3. **Code Cleanup**:
```bash
git checkout -b chore/cleanup
rona -a "src/" -e "*.rs"
rona -g rona -c -p
```
4. **Testing**:
```bash
git checkout -b test/add-tests
rona -a "tests/"
rona -g rona -c -p
```
5. **Quick Commits (Interactive Mode)**:
```bash
rona -a "src/"
rona -g -i rona -c -p
```
## Command Reference
### `add-with-exclude` (`-a`)
Add files to Git staging while excluding specified patterns.
```bash
rona add-with-exclude <pattern(s)>
# or
rona -a <pattern(s)>
```
**Example:**
```bash
rona -a "*.rs" "*.tmp" # Exclude Rust and temporary files
```
### `commit` (`-c`)
Commit changes using prepared message. **By default, automatically detects GPG availability and signs commits if possible**.
```bash
rona commit [OPTIONS] [extra args]
# or
rona -c [-p | --push] [-u | --unsigned] [extra args]
```
**Options:**
- `-p, --push` - Push after committing
- `-u, --unsigned` - Create unsigned commit (explicitly disable signing)
- `--dry-run` - Preview what would be committed
**Examples:**
```bash
# Auto-detected signing (default behavior)
rona -c
# Explicitly unsigned commit
rona -c -u
# Commit and push (with auto-detected signing)
rona -c -p
# Explicitly unsigned commit with push
rona -c -u -p
```
### `completion`
Generate shell completion scripts.
```bash
rona completion <shell>
```
**Supported shells:** `bash`, `fish`, `zsh`, `powershell`
**Example:**
```bash
rona completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/rona.fish
```
### `generate` (`-g`)
Generate or update commit message template.
```bash
rona generate [--interactive] [--no-commit-number]
# or
rona -g [-i | --interactive] [-n | --no-commit-number]
```
**Features:**
- Creates `commit_message.md` and `.commitignore`
- Interactive commit type selection
- Automatic file change tracking
- **Interactive mode:** Input commit message directly in terminal (`-i` flag)
- **Editor mode:** Opens in configured editor (default behavior)
- **No commit number:** Omit commit number from message (`-n` flag)
**Options:**
- `-i, --interactive` - Input commit message directly in terminal instead of opening editor
- `-n, --no-commit-number` - Generate commit message without commit number
**Examples:**
```bash
# Standard mode: Opens commit type selector, then editor
rona -g
# Interactive mode: Input message directly in terminal
rona -g -i
# Without commit number (useful with conditional templates)
rona -g -n
# Interactive mode without commit number
rona -g -i -n
```
**Interactive Mode Usage:**
When using the `-i` flag, Rona will:
1. Show the commit type selector (uses configured types or defaults: feat, fix, docs, test, chore)
2. Prompt for a single commit message input
3. Generate a clean format using your template (or default)
4. Save directly to `commit_message.md` without file details
**No Commit Number Flag:**
The `-n` flag sets `commit_number` to `None`, which works perfectly with conditional templates:
- With conditional template: `{?commit_number}[{commit_number}] {/commit_number}({commit_type}) {message}`
- Result with `-n`: `(feat) Add feature` (no empty brackets!)
- Result without `-n`: `[42] (feat) Add feature`
This is perfect for quick, clean commits without the detailed file listing.
### Prompt UI and Colors
Rona uses the `inquire` crate for interactive prompts with a custom color scheme applied globally:
- Prompt prefix: `$` (light red)
- Answered prefix: `✔` (light green)
- Highlighted option prefix: `➠` (light blue)
- Prompt label: light cyan + bold
- Help message: dark yellow + italic
- Answer text: light magenta + bold
- Default values: light blue; placeholders: black
If you prefer different colors, you can fork and adjust the render configuration in `src/cli.rs` (function `get_render_config`). You can also override styles for a specific prompt using `with_render_config(...)` on that prompt.
**Commit Types:**
- Uses commit types from your configuration (`.rona.toml` or `~/.config/rona.toml`)
- Falls back to: `["chore", "feat", "fix", "test"]` when no configuration exists
- Default configuration includes: `["feat", "fix", "docs", "test", "chore"]`
### `init` (`-i`)
Initialize Rona configuration.
```bash
rona init [editor] # Any command-line editor (default: nano)
```
**Examples:**
```bash
rona init vim
rona init zed
rona init "code --wait" # VS Code
rona init # Uses default (nano)
```
### `list-status` (`-l`)
Display repository status (primarily for shell completion).
```bash
rona list-status
# or
rona -l
```
### `push` (`-p`)
Push committed changes to remote repository.
```bash
rona push [extra args]
# or
rona -p [extra args]
```
### `set-editor` (`-s`)
Set the default editor for commit messages.
```bash
rona set-editor <editor> # Any command-line editor (vim, zed, "code --wait", etc.)
```
**Examples:**
```bash
rona set-editor vim
rona set-editor zed
rona set-editor "code --wait" # VS Code
rona set-editor emacs
rona set-editor nano
```
### `sync`
Sync your current branch with another branch by pulling latest changes and merging or rebasing.
```bash
rona sync [OPTIONS]
```
**Options:**
- `-b, --branch <BRANCH>` - Branch to sync from (default: main)
- `-r, --rebase` - Use rebase instead of merge
- `-n, --new-branch <NAME>` - Create a new branch before syncing
- `--dry-run` - Preview what would be done
**Workflow:**
1. Optionally creates a new branch (if `-n` specified)
2. Switches to the source branch
3. Pulls latest changes from remote
4. Switches back to your target branch
5. Merges or rebases the source branch into your target branch
**Examples:**
```bash
# Basic usage: sync current branch with main
rona sync
# Sync with a different branch
rona sync --branch develop
rona sync -b staging
# Use rebase instead of merge
rona sync --rebase
rona sync -r
# Create new branch and sync with main
rona sync --new-branch feature/my-feature
rona sync -n bugfix/issue-123
# Create new branch and sync from develop using rebase
rona sync -b develop -r -n feature/new-feature
# Preview what would happen without making changes
rona sync --dry-run
# Combine all options
rona sync -b develop -r -n feature/test --dry-run
```
**Common Use Cases:**
```bash
# Keep feature branch up-to-date with main
git checkout feature/my-feature
rona sync
# Start new feature from latest main
rona sync -n feature/new-feature
# Update branch with staging before deploying
rona sync -b staging
# Rebase feature branch onto latest main for clean history
rona sync --rebase
```
### `help` (`-h`)
Display help information.
```bash
rona help
# or
rona -h
```
## Shell Completion
Rona supports auto-completion for multiple shells using [`clap_complete`](https://docs.rs/clap_complete/latest/clap_complete/index.html).
### Generate Completions
Generate completion files for your shell:
```bash
# Generate completions for specific shell
rona completion fish # Fish shell
rona completion bash # Bash
rona completion zsh # Zsh
rona completion powershell # PowerShell
# Save to file
rona completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/rona.fish
```
### Installation by Shell
