## Avoid raising errors
509-
510-
Some situations from Commitizen raise an exit code different from 0.
511-
If the error code is different from 0, any CI or script running Commitizen might be interrupted.
512-
513-
If you have a special use case, where you don't want to raise one of these error codes, you can
514-
tell Commitizen to not raise them.

### Recommended use case

| ----------------- | --------- |

There are some situations where you don't want to get an error code when some
525-
commits do not match your rules, you just want those commits to be skipped.

```sh
528-
cz -nr 21 bump

### Easy way

Check which error code was raised by Commitizen by running in the terminal
534-
535-
```sh
536-
echo $?
537-
```
538-
539-
The output should be an integer like this
540-
541-
```sh
542-
3
543-
```
544-

And then you can tell Commitizen to ignore it:

cz --no-raise 3

553-
```sh
554-
cz --no-raise 3,4,5
555-
```
556-
557-
### Longer way
558-
559-
Check the list of [exit_codes](../exit_codes.md) and understand which one you have
560-
to skip and why.

562-
Remember to document somewhere this, because you'll forget.

For example if the system raises a `NoneIncrementExit` error, you look it up

## Ignoring Exit Codes
47+
48+
In some scenarios, you may want Commitizen to continue execution even when certain errors occur. This is particularly useful in CI/CD pipelines where you want to handle specific errors gracefully.
49+
50+
### Using `--no-raise` Flag
51+
52+
The `--no-raise` (or `-nr`) flag allows you to specify exit codes that should not cause Commitizen to exit with an error. You can use either:
53+
54+
- **Exit code numbers**: `21`, `3`, `4`
55+
- **Exit code names**: `NO_INCREMENT`, `NO_COMMITS_FOUND`, `NO_VERSION_SPECIFIED`
56+
- **Mixed format**: `21,NO_COMMITS_FOUND,4`
57+
58+
Multiple exit codes can be specified as a comma-separated list.
59+
60+
### Common Use Cases
61+
62+
#### Ignoring No Increment Errors
63+
64+
The most common use case is to ignore `NoneIncrementExit` (exit code 21) when running `cz bump`. This allows the command to succeed even when no commits are eligible for a version bump:
65+
66+
```sh
67+
cz -nr 21 bump
68+
```
69+
70+
Or using the exit code name:
71+
72+
```sh
73+
cz -nr NO_INCREMENT bump
74+
```
75+
76+
This is useful in CI pipelines where you want to run `cz bump` regularly, but don't want the pipeline to fail when there are no version-worthy commits.
77+
78+
#### Ignoring Multiple Exit Codes
79+
80+
You can ignore multiple exit codes at once:
81+
82+
```sh
83+
cz --no-raise 21,3,4 bump
84+
```
85+
86+
This example ignores:
87+
88+
- `21` (`NoneIncrementExit`) - No eligible commits for bump
89+
- `3` (`NoCommitsFoundError`) - No commits found
90+
- `4` (`NoVersionSpecifiedError`) - Version not specified
91+
92+
### Finding the Exit Code
93+
94+
If you encounter an error and want to ignore it, you can find the exit code in two ways:
95+
96+
#### Method 1: Check the Exit Code After Running
97+
98+
After running a Commitizen command that fails, check the exit code:
99+
100+
```sh
101+
cz bump
102+
echo $? # Prints the exit code (e.g., 21)
103+
```
104+
105+
Then use that exit code with `--no-raise`:
106+
107+
```sh
108+
cz -nr 21 bump
109+
```
110+
111+
#### Method 2: Look Up the Exception
112+
113+
1. Check the error message to identify the exception type
114+
2. Find the corresponding exit code in the table above
115+
3. Use that exit code with `--no-raise`
116+
117+
For example, if you see `NoneIncrementExit` in the error, look it up in the table to find it's exit code 21, then use:
118+
119+
```sh
120+
cz -nr 21 bump
121+
```
122+
123+
### Best Practices
124+
125+
- **Document your usage**: If you use `--no-raise` in scripts or CI/CD, document why specific exit codes are ignored
126+
- **Be specific**: Only ignore exit codes you understand and have a reason to ignore
127+
- **Test thoroughly**: Ensure that ignoring certain exit codes doesn't mask real problems in your workflow
128+
- **Use exit code names**: When possible, use exit code names (e.g., `NO_INCREMENT`) instead of numbers for better readability
129+
130+
### Example: CI/CD Pipeline
131+
132+
Here's an example of using `--no-raise` in a CI/CD pipeline:
133+
134+
```yaml
135+
# .github/workflows/release.yml
136+
- name: Bump version
137+
run: |
138+
cz -nr NO_INCREMENT bump || true
139+
# Continue even if no version bump is needed
140+
```
141+
142+
This ensures the pipeline continues even when there are no commits eligible for a version bump.
