prompt: reimplement with ink

The current implementation of @commitlint/prompt is tied to vorpal.

While vorpal provides great UX in a lot of ways it limits the adaptability of @commitlint/prompt in important ways, e.g. #46, #63.

@beetcb Glad you has the same needs and also taken actions.

It is unlikely to merge code directly, I think the point is that these two implementations are from different motivation.

cz-commitlint vs @commitlint/prompt

The motivation of cz-commitlint is to provide commitizen adapter, help commitizen works with commitlint.config.js. cz-commitlint replaces the role of @commitlint/prompt. I think users who try to use @commitlint/prompt in combination with commitizen(instead of using @commitlint/prompt-cli), want to benefit by commitizen’s good interaction and commitlint configuration. But @commitlint/prompt using vorpal instead of inquirer, so the combination is meaningless. cz-commitlint is work for this, based on inquirer, friendlier to commitizen users.

commitlive vs @commitlint/prompt-cli

commitlive is an independent commit tool, provides interactive CLI and message committer. The motivation is same with @commitlint/prompt-cli. We need a commit tool which is good enough to replace commitizen + cz-commitlint. And commitlive has taken the first step, I think there is one thing need to be considered firstly: the reasons to use repll instead of inquirer.

i started looking into this and Ink seems nice, but using react to create cli seems like overkill to me

I beg to differ in this case - prompt has a lot of in-place updates based on a central state so it is well suited for implementation via an immediate mode UI pattern (such as React).

Do you have a different approach in mind?
