# Commit Format

Commit Format is a formatter for commits to paste into a Git Pull Request
description.

## Installation

1. Run `gem install commit_format`

## Usage

```
# Print all commits on feature branch since branching off the default branch
# Only works when not on the default branch
commit-format

# Copy the output directly onto the clipboard on macOS
commit-format | pbcopy

# Print the range of formatted commits
commit-format HEAD~1..HEAD

# Prints the commits new in the 'my-feature' branch
commit-format main..my-feature

# Print the last 5 commits
commit-format -n 5

# Print all new commits since selected base branch
commit-format -b main
commit-format -b feature-branch

# Print all commits with text lines joined into a paragraph
commit-format --paragraph
commit-format -p
```

## Features

- Turns each commit subject into a markdown heading.
- Indents all headings in the message body on level lower. Heading level 2
becomes heading level 3, etc.
- Join text lines together as continuous paragraphs for easier reading in Pull
Requests. Markdown syntax like code block, blockquotes, lists, tables, etc.
are all kept in their original format.
```
# For example:
A commit message with multiple text lines
across multiple lines.

# Becomes
