git-commit-msg

git-commit-msg is a commit-msg hook installer for git with configuration available in package.json

The idea of this library is to force using semantic-release rules in commit-message using Angular Commit Message Conventions

Idea and some code for this package came from other package called pre-commit, credits for bash hook script and install/uninstall js scripts goes to guy who created pre-commit

Installation (NPM)

Run

npm install git-commit-msg --save-dev

Installation (Yarn)

Run

yarn add git-commit-msg --dev

This will replace commit-msg in your .git/hooks folder with code, that will run checks on every git commit.

Configuration

Configuration is simple and is done in package.json, you just need to add git-commit-msg object:

"git-commit-hook": {
    "types": [
        "feat",
        "fix",
        "chore",
        "docs",
        "refactor",
        "style",
        "perf",
        "test",
        "revert"
    ],
    "lineLength": 72,
    "scope": {
        "mandatory": false,
        "rules": ""
    }
}

git-commit-hook.types (array of strings) will add rules, so your git commit messages must start using those types like

feat: <message>

or

feat(scope/filename): <message>

git-commit-hook.lineLength (integer) will make sure that lines in your commit message are always less or equal to the number you set into this config
