Global Configuration
Description
It would be nice to support global configuration, say ~/.cz.yaml, to reduce the trouble of creating custom commitizen for each project.
Possible Solution
Append Path.home() to cfg_search_paths in commitizen/config/__init__.py.

This is something we remove since v2.0.0. I'm not sure whether we're to adding it back. I'm a bit against it. @woile What do you think?
Having a global configuration would be fantastic. We have 100s of projects and creating a configuration for each project is a MAJOR pain.
I'm also against having a global configuration. Not only adds more work for maintainers (people confused as of way their projects behaves in weird ways). But, I believe projects should have all the required info to work in the project itself. It might be a burden, but you are gonna need to tell every developer to install commitizen globally and configure it properly. And nothing prevents some automation to add the file to every project or a cookie cutter like tool. That being said, nothing prevents you from writing a custom cz-rule that reads from a global conf file.
You could have a GlobalConventionalCommits, and replace the source of the values:
https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen/blob/master/commitizen/cz/base.py#L45
It could also be published to pypi and added to the third party section
It looks like we've already concluded that we won't implement it. Close this one.
