commits

Checks commit messages for a conventional type, an optional project scope, a first line of 72 characters or fewer, and a wrapped body.

Checks

Check	Stage	Level	What it does
commits/commitlint	message	all	Checks a new commit message for a conventional type, an optional known scope, a first line of 72 characters or fewer, and a wrapped body.
commits/commitlint-pushed	push	all	Checks the message of each commit in a push. A manual run covers every commit from the upstream merge base to HEAD.

Settings

Setting	What it sets
tools.commitlint.types	The commit types the type-enum rule allows.
tools.commitlint.scopes	Commit scopes that the scope-enum rule accepts, and a message may leave out its scope. When empty, gspot uses the last segment of each project scope path, or no list without project scopes.
tools.commitlint.rules	Options for active commitlint rules, by rule name: an always/never condition and an optional value, without a severity; the level decides which rules run. Ignore a finding with gspot ignore commits/commitlint --rule <rule> --reason <why>.
