# Exit Codes

Commitizen handles expected exceptions through `CommitizenException` and returns different exit codes for different situations. They could be useful if you want to ignore specific errors in your pipeline.

These exit codes can be found in `commitizen/exceptions.py::ExitCode`.

| Exception                   | Exit Code | Description                                                                                                 |
