Eddiebot: Need commitzen for commits

[RaisinTen]

Since we use Conventional Commits specification for the commit guidelines, wouldn't it be nicer if we used something like commitzen for the commits? What do you all think? :slightly_smiling_face:

This is super freaking cool!!! @RaisinTen thank you so much for opening this issue and suggesting that 😄. I love standards (especially conventional commits 💯 💯 ) and I think @eddiejaoude does too, so I completely support this addition.

I don't know commitzen, so could you test out if what they say it does: "you'll be prompted to fill out any required commit fields at commit time", also happens if you make a commit with tools like GitHub Desktop?

_Note: I started a similar discussion on this issue, so I'd say for this issue it's also important to test if this blocks PRs will commits that don't follow the standard._

This looks great @RaisinTen . I agree with @BOLT04 standards that we are all familiar with is awesome 👍

@BOLT04 raises some good concerns, then if that is all ok, we could add it, just to reiterate what @BOLT04 asked:

• could you test out if what they say it does: "you'll be prompted to fill out any required commit fields at commit time"
• what happens if you make a commit with tools like GitHub Desktop or VSCode

Sorry didnt mean to close, I will reopen

• I actually got to use it before when I was contributing to ml5js. All I had to do to commit my changes was:

  $ git add .
  $ npm run commit
  

  It runs git-cz which builds a commit message out of the options you select and the messages you provide in a really neat manner. Also, if someone prefers doing it manually, one can do a simple git commit. I even tried setting it up on a dummy project right now and it works like a charm! :smiley:

• Unfortunately, I don't think my machine (Ubuntu 18.04 32-bit) supports GitHub Desktop and I don't use VS Code (_vim fanboi lol_). However, I do think there are few plugins which can help in that case. :slightly_smiling_face:

Awesome! I think we can encourage people to use the CLI 🤓 - we should use this on one of our projects and then we can add it to our other projects in the organisation when we are comfortable with it
