Commitlint hook for pre-commit

Configuration

• Create your commitlint config file in the repo's root, as explained in Commitlint docs.
• Add the following to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

  - repo: https://github.com/alessandrojcm/commitlint-pre-commit-hook
    rev: <latest tag>
    hooks:
        - id: commitlint
          stages: [commit-msg]

• Add your shared configurations as a dependency using the additional_dependencies parameter of the hooks, here we use the @commitlint/config-angular as an example:

  - repo: https://github.com/alessandrojcm/commitlint-pre-commit-hook
    rev: <latest tag>
    hooks:
        - id: commitlint
          stages: [commit-msg]
          additional_dependencies: ['@commitlint/config-angular']

• Install the commit-msg hook in your project repo:

  pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg

Note that you need to specify a shared configuration in order for commitlint to work, if commitlint is new to you just use their default configuration (@commitlint/config-conventional). For more information, refer to their docs.

Usage in Travis CI

• Add the following to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

  - repo: https://github.com/alessandrojcm/commitlint-pre-commit-hook

    hooks:
        - id: commitlint-travis
          stages: [manual]

• Add the following to your .travis.yml:

  script:
    - pip install pre-commit
    - pre-commit run --hook-stage manual commitlint-travis
