czg installed via Homebrew cannot resolve cz-git even when globally installed via npm

[vhuk2025]

Hi 👋,

I'm running into an issue when using czg installed via Homebrew.

Problem
After installing czg globally using Homebrew:

bash

brew install czg
Then installing cz-git globally via npm:

bash
复制
编辑
npm install -g cz-git
Running czg results in the following error:

Cannot find module 'cz-git'
Require stack:

• /Users/myuser/commitlint.config.js
• /usr/local/Cellar/czg/1.11.1/libexec/lib/node_modules/czg/lib/main.js
• /usr/local/Cellar/czg/1.11.1/libexec/lib/node_modules/czg/bin/index.js
  Diagnosis
  I understand that Homebrew installs czg in a separate libexec environment, which doesn't share the global npm module path. As a result, the require('cz-git') call inside czg fails, even though cz-git is globally installed using npm.

Question
Is there any recommended way to make Homebrew-installed czg work with a globally installed cz-git?

Alternatively, is there a way to "inject" cz-git into the Homebrew-installed czg environment, or should I uninstall the Homebrew version and use npm install -g czg cz-git instead?

System Info
macOS

czg@1.11.1 (installed via Homebrew)

cz-git@latest (installed via npm install -g)

Thanks in advance! Let me know if more context is needed.

1. Run czg. It is a standalone CLI and does not require any other dependencies (like cz-git).
2. When you use a global setup and cannot find the cz-git module, it is because it cannot locate the cz-git module in your {current_dir}/node_modules.

The reason for issue is that you are using a module (cz-git) exported type-help function in your configuration. You just need to remove it (type-helper function is provide to project configure):

BTW, in my opinion, global configuration doesn’t require highly dynamic customization (JavaScript-based configuration). Generally, using a JSON configuration in .czrc is sufficient.
