commitlint

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams enforce consistent commit messages across projects by integrating commitlint with conventional configurations, enabling standardized histories, automated changelogs, and reliable release workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Install and configure commitlint with a conventional config to enforce standard message formats.
• Integrate with Git hooks (e.g., Husky) to validate commits on commit-time and prevent bad messages.
• Validate commits in CI pipelines to ensure only compliant messages are merged.
• Customize rules, parsers, and prompts to fit team conventions and workflows for large codebases.

Quick Start

Install commitlint and a conventional config, then set up a basic commitlint.config.js and run a quick validation on a sample commit.
