To set up Commitizen in your project, first install the necessary packages:

"dependencies": {
  "commitizen": "^4.3.0",
  "cz-conventional-changelog": "^3.3.0"
}

Next, add the configuration to your package.json:

"config": {
  "commitizen": {
    "path": "./node_modules/cz-conventional-changelog"
  }
}

Finally, add a script to facilitate committing:

"scripts": {
  "commit": "git-cz"
}

Now, you can run npm run commit to initiate the Commitizen prompt, ensuring your commit messages follow the conventional format.
