I use Commitizen for conventional commits on all projects at work, and as we migrated to collections, we couldn’t find a practical way to manage versions when pushing to automation hub.
Commitizen didn’t have a provider for galaxy.yml out of the box, so I wrote one: commitizen-galaxy-provider.
Set it as your version_provider and cz bump will read and write the version field in galaxy.yml directly, leaving every other field (namespace, authors, dependencies, etc.) untouched.
Install:
uv add commitizen commitizen-galaxy-provider
or
pip install commitizen commitizen-galaxy-provider
Configure in pyproject.toml:
[tool.commitizen]
version_provider = "galaxy"
Then cz bump handles version bumping and tagging for the collection the same way it would for a Python package.

Sharing in case it’s useful to anyone else running Commitizen against a collection. Feedback welcome.
