Check unknown config in configuration file #300
Description
Description
Check whether unknown configuration exists in the configuration file when strict_config=True is passed. It should work like --strict-markers in pytest. It can avoid typo in the configuration.
Possible Solution
- add
strict_configas a configuration - define the valid configurations
- check unknown key in base_config if
strict_config=True

How would this work? What do you envision and what's the use case?

If any configuration not supported by commitizen exists in the section
[tool.commitizen], any commtizen command should fail with an error message saying which configuration is not supported.Days ago, I tried to reproduce #297, but forget that I didn't have the latest commitizen installed which does not yet support
update_changelog_on_bump.Also, I think it might be great if an user can list all the configuration through cli like

I think warnings may make more sense. Failing with an error message sounds a bit too aggressive. But it is ok to fail when

We can also validate the type of each value in the same patch. I am not sure whether we have done type validation in configuration files / command line.

We're using decli (a wrapper based on argparse). It technically can do type validation if I'm not wrong.
