About:
Commitlint checks if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format specifications. It helps maintain a clean and readable project history by enforcing consistent commit message styles across your team. The tool can be integrated into CI pipelines and local git hooks to automatically validate commits.
Key Features:
  • Configurable rules for commit message formatting
  • Built-in support for conventional commits
  • Extensible via plugins for custom rules
  • Interactive commit message prompt with @commitlint/prompt
  • Git hook integration with husky
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing consistent commit message standards across development teams
  • Automated validation in CI/CD pipelines to ensure clean git history
  • Guiding developers with interactive prompts during commit creation
Alternatives:
  • semantic-pull-requests – GitHub-specific action for PR titles vs local commit linting
  • gitlint – Python-based commit linter vs Node.js-based commitlint
