Check commit message formatting, branch naming, commit author, email, and more.

Overview

Check commit message formatting, branch naming, committer name, email, and more. Alternative to Yet Another Commit Checker.

• requiring commit message to match regex

• requiring branch naming to match regex

• requiring committer name and email to match regex

• customizing error message

• customizing suggest command

Purpose

commit-check is a tool designed for teams.

Its main purpose is to standardize the format of commit message, branch naming, etc, and makes it possible to:

• writing descriptive commit is easy to read

• identify branch according to the branch type

• triggering the specific types of commit/branch CI build

• automatically generate changelogs

Configuration

Use custom configuration

Create a config file .commit-check.yml under your repository root directory, e.g. .commit-check.yml

Use default configuration

• If you did’t set .commit-check.yml, commit-check will use the default configuration.

• i.e. the commit message will follow the rules of conventional commits, branch naming follow bitbucket branching model.

Usage

There are a variety of ways you can use commit-check as follows.

Running as GitHub Action

Please see commit-check/commit-check-action

Running as pre-commit hook

Tip

Make sure pre-commit is installed.

-   repo: https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check
    rev: the tag or revision
    hooks:
    -   id: check-message
    -   id: check-branch

Running as CLI

Global installation

sudo pip3 install -U commit-check

User installation

pip install -U commit-check

Install from git repo

pip install git+https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check.git@main

Then you can run commit-check command line. More about commit-check --help please see docs.

Running as Git Hooks

To configure the hook, you need to create a new script file in the .git/hooks/ directory of your Git repository.

Here is an example script that you can use to set up the hook:

#!/bin/sh
commit-check --message --branch --author-name --author-email

Save the script file to pre-push and make it executable by running the following command:

chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push

Then when you run git push command, this push hook will be run automatically.
