Lint
Validates commit messages based on the rules configured in the .gitwit file, ensuring that commits follow the default defined by the project.
The command can be used to validate existing commits in the repository or a manually informed message, useful for local use as well as in automations and pipelines.
The lint can validate:
- a specific commit;
- a commit interval;
- or, by default, the most recent commit (HEAD).
Use
bash
gitwit lint [-m=<message>] [<revSpec>]| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-m, --message=<message> | Validates a directly informed commit message without needing to reference a repository commit. |
<revSpec> | Git revision specification used to select commits to validate. It can be a commit, branch, tag hash or an interval in the from..to format |
Examples
bash
# Validates only the most recent commit (default behavior)
