+### Push to git

+Pushing to git is on by default but if you would like to turn it off just use:
+```sh
+oc config set OCO_GITPUSH=false
+```

 ### Switch to `@commitlint`
 
 OpenCommit allows you to choose the prompt module used to generate commit messages. By default, OpenCommit uses its conventional-commit message generator. However, you can switch to using the `@commitlint` prompt module if you prefer. This option lets you generate commit messages in respect with the local config.
