<!-- ## How do I create a new plugin? -->
## How to help us update the list of plugins?
Please document what features the plugin provides:
- a convention
- a scheme
- a provider
- a `changelog_format`
Of course, a plugin can provide multiple features.
You may have noticed that `commitizen` itself can be viewed as a plugin that provides all the above features.
Please see [cz-path](./cz-path.md) for a detailed example.
