GitHub has released a new CLI extension called gh-cc, making it easier for developers to use conventional commits. Conventional Commits is a guideline that improves the readability of commit messages by adding a consistent prefix to each message. This prefix helps both humans and machines understand the main intent of the commit.

The new extension allows users to easily turn all their commits into conventional commits, improving the readability of their project's history. Automated tools can parse this prefix and use it for other nice things, such as making the project follow the Semantic Versioning specification by automatically creating semantic releases.

To install the extension, simply type "gh-cc" inside any cloned repository that has the GitHub CLI up and running. The extension passes all arguments on to git commit, so users can save typing by adding an alias to their shell configuration.
