# `commitwc`
A CLI tool that helps you keep your commit messages concise so that message length complies
with the 50/72 rule / is short enough not to be wrapped on Github / complies with your
team's commit message style guide.
- counts the number of characters in your commit message
- copies the message to the clipboard
> **Note**
>
> Windows is not supported yet.
### Installation
*Assuming that `~/.local/bin` is in your `$PATH`.*
##### Via downloading a binary
Go to the [releases page](https://github.com/v-spassky/commitwc/releases) and
grab an archive with the latest binary for your platform if it is available
there. Then extract the binary to `~/.local/bin`.
> **Note**
>
> If there isn't a pre-compiled binary for your platform, the only option is to
> build from source code.
##### Via building from source code
```
git clone https://github.com/v-spassky/commitwc.git

cd commitwc
```
```
cargo build --release

Launch the `commitwc` command and type your commit message. The tool will count the number of words in your commit message. After you press `Enter`, the tool will copy the message to the clipboard and exit.
