9 | | -commitlint is a tool designed to lint your commit messages according to the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) standard for your pre-commit hook and GitHub Actions. |
| 9 | +`commitlint` is a tool that lints commit messages according to the [Conventional Commits](./docs/conventional-commits.md) standard. It can be used in GitHub Actions and as a pre-commit hook. |
10 | 10 |
|
11 | | -## Conventional Commits |
| 11 | +## Usage |
12 | 12 |
|
13 | | -A conventional commit message follows a specific format that includes a prefix indicating the type of change, an optional scope for context, and a concise description of the modification. |
14 | | -This structure improves readability, facilitates automated changelog generation, and ensures a consistent commit history. |
| 13 | +### GitHub Actions |
15 | 14 |
|
16 | | -The commit message should follow this structure: |
17 | | - |
18 | | -``` |
19 | | -<type>(<optional scope>): <description> |
20 | | - |
21 | | -[Optional body] |
22 | | -``` |
23 | | - |
24 | | -**Type:** Indicates the type of change, such as build, ci, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, style, test, chore, revert, or bump. |
25 | | -E.g., `feat: add JSON parser`. |
26 | | - |
27 | | -**Scope:** Additional contextual information. |
28 | | -E.g., `feat(parser): add JSON parser`. |
29 | | - |
30 | | -**Description:** Brief description of the commit. |
31 | | - |
32 | | -**Body:** A detailed description of the commit. |
33 | | - |
34 | | -For more details, please refer to the Conventional Commits specification at https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ |
35 | | - |
36 | | -> NOTE: commitlint also checks the length of the commit header (**max 72 characters**). The commit header refers to the first line of the commit message (excluding the body). |
37 | | - |
38 | | -## How to use |
39 | | - |
40 | | -### For pre-commit |
41 | | - |
42 | | -1. Add the following configuration on `.pre-commit-config.yaml`. |
43 | | - |
44 | | - ```yaml |
45 | | - repos: |
46 | | - ... |
47 | | - - repo: https://github.com/opensource-nepal/commitlint |
48 | | - rev: v1.2.0 |
49 | | - hooks: |
50 | | - - id: commitlint |
51 | | - ... |
52 | | - ``` |
53 | | - |
54 | | -2. Install the `commit-msg` hook in your project repo: |
55 | | - |
56 | | - ```bash |
57 | | - pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg |
58 | | - ``` |
59 | | - |
60 | | - Installing using only `pre-commit install` will not work. |
61 | | - |
62 | | -> **_NOTE:_** Avoid using commit messages that start with '#'. |
63 | | -> This might result in unexpected behavior with commitlint. |
64 | | - |
65 | | -### For GitHub Actions |
66 | | - |
67 | | -If you have any existing workflows, add the following steps: |
| 15 | +If you have an existing workflow, add the following steps: |

75 | 25 | ...

|
77 | 27 |
|
78 | | -If you don't have any workflows, create a new GitHub workflow, e.g. `.github/workflows/commitlint.yaml`. |
| 28 | +If you don't have any workflows, create a new GitHub workflow file, e.g., `.github/workflows/commitlint.yaml`: |
79 | 29 |
|
80 | 30 | ```yaml
|
81 | | -name: Commitlint |
| 31 | +name: Conventional Commitlint |
82 | 32 |

|
96 | 46 |
|
97 | | -> **_NOTE:_** commitlint GitHub Actions will only be triggered by "push", "pull_request", or "pull_request_target" events. The difference between "pull_request" and "pull_request_target" is that "pull_request" is more secure for public repos while "pull_request_target" is necessary for private repos. |
| 47 | +> **_Note:_** The `commitlint` GitHub Action is triggered only by `push`, `pull_request`, or `pull_request_target` events. |
