Please enter the correct version format: (default: \"$version\")\r\n? Create changelog automatically on bump Yes\r\n? Keep major version zero (0.x) during breaking changes Yes\r\n?

Start new Terminal\r\n2. Set LANG to 'de_CH.ISO8859-1' with 'export LANG=de_CH.ISO8859-1'\r\n3. issue 'cz info'\n\n### Current behavior\n\nException / Crash\n\n### Desired behavior\n\noptimum:\r\nProper output with reencoding also with other Terminal Encodings than UTF-8. (This is due the fact that we have to use ISO8859-1 Terminal for development and therefore also use git and cz inside these terminals)\r\n\r\nAcceptable but not desireable:\r\nPrevent cz from being used with non UTF-8 Termial: warn and exit at start instead of throwing an exception in the middle of the work.\n\n### Screenshots\n\n_No response_\n\n### Environment\n\ncz version --report\r\nCommitizen Version: 3.13.0\r\nPython Version: 3.11.6 (main, Oct  3 2023, 17:06:54) [GCC 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-18)]\r\nOperating System: Linux","author":{"url":"https://github.com/keenonkites","@type":"Person","name":"keenonkites"},"datePublished":"2024-01-09T07:42:22.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/956/commitizen/issues/956"}
