commitlint is a CLI tool and library that lints git commit messages against the conventional commit format, with shareable npm-based configurations. It integrates with git hooks (e.g., husky) and CI pipelines to enforce commit message conventions.
Use cases
- enforce conventional commit message format in a repo
- lint commit messages in CI pipelines
- validate commit messages on git commit with husky hooks
- share commit message rules across projects via npm packages
- customize allowed commit types and scopes for a team
When to choose
- your team follows conventional commits or wants automated changelogs
- you need consistent, machine-readable commit history
- you want commit message checks at commit time or in CI
When to avoid
- your project does not use git or commit message conventions
- you only need changelog generation without message linting
