    "config": {
        "commitizen": {
            "path": "./node_modules/cz-conventional-changelog",
            "disableScopeLowerCase": false,
            "disableSubjectLowerCase": false,
            "maxHeaderWidth": 100,
            "maxLineWidth": 100,
            "defaultType": "",
            "defaultScope": "",
            "defaultSubject": "",
            "defaultBody": "",
            "defaultIssues": "",
            "types": {
              ...
              "feat": {
                "description": "A new feature",
                "title": "Features"
              },
              ...
            }
        }
    }
// ...
}

Environment variables

The following environment variables can be used to override any default configuration or package.json based configuration.

• CZ_TYPE = defaultType
• CZ_SCOPE = defaultScope
• CZ_SUBJECT = defaultSubject
• CZ_BODY = defaultBody
• CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH = maxHeaderWidth
• CZ_MAX_LINE_WIDTH = maxLineWidth

Commitlint

If using the commitlint js library, the "maxHeaderWidth" configuration property will default to the configuration of the "header-max-length" rule instead of the hard coded value of 100. This can be ovewritten by setting the 'maxHeaderWidth' configuration in package.json or the CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH environment variable.
