enforce-git-message 1.0.1

Enforces conventional git commit messages for git repositories

enforce-git-message

Enforces conventional git commit messages for all new git repositories you create by running git init. For existing repositories, you can go to your source directory and simply run:

enforce-git-message

Examples of valid commit messages:

+ 61c8ca9 fix: navbar not responsive on mobile
+ 479c48b test: prepared test cases for user authentication
+ a992020 chore: moved to semantic versioning
+ b818120 fix: button click even handler firing twice
+ c6e9a97 fix: login page css
+ dfdc715 feat(auth): added social login using twitter

Examples of invalid commit messages resulting in an error message:

- 61c8ca9 fix for navbar not responsive on mobile
- 479c48b prepared test cases for user authentication
- a992020 moved to semantic versioning
- b818120 fixed button click even handler firing twice
- c6e9a97 login page css fix
- dfdc715 added social login auth feature using twitter

Installation

pip install enforce-git-message

Verifying

Go to your source folder and try to commit with a non-conventional message like this and it should fail:

> git commit -m "added a new feature for xyz"

COMMIT FAILED!

Please enter commit message in the conventional format and try to commit again. Examples:

+ 61c8ca9 fix: navbar not responsive on mobile
+ 479c48b test: prepared test cases for user authentication
+ a992020 chore: moved to semantic versioning
+ b818120 fix: button click even handler firing twice
+ c6e9a97 fix: login page css
+ dfdc715 feat(auth): added social login using twitter

After that, try doing the commit with a valid message and it should work:

> git commit -m "feat(test): added xyz"
>

Notes
