Installation

Using yarn

yarn add @morev/commitlint-config

Using npm

npm install @morev/commitlint-config

Using pnpm

pnpm add @morev/commitlint-config

Usage

Basic usage

Create a .commitlintrc.cjs file in the project root:

echo -e "module.exports = {\n\textends: ['@morev/commitlint-config'],\n\trules: {},\n};" > .commitlintrc.cjs

The command above will create a .commitlintrc.cjs file with the following content:

module.exports = {
  extends: ['@morev/commitlint-config'],
  rules: {},
};

It's recommended to create .commitlintrc.cjs file instead of commitlint.config.js because by using this naming strategy you can keep your Commitlint configuration file consistent across packages regardless of whether the package has "type": "module" or "type": "commonjs".

Advanced usage

If you need fine-grained control, you can import the entire config directly and manipulate it as a JavaScript object:

const config = require('@morev/commitlint-config');

// Replace the `header-min-length` rule with custom settings
config.rules['header-min-length'] = [2, 'always', 5];

module.exports = config;

Also you can use the built-in utility to modify type-enum rule for each project in a more elegant way:

const { modifyTypeEnum } = require('@morev/commitlint-config/utils');
const config = require('@morev/commitlint-config');

module.exports = modifyTypeEnum(config, {
  add: ['temp'],
  remove: ['nvm'],
});

// Now you can use `temp` as a type and cannot use `nvm`, rest types remain as is.

Built-in type enum

type	Description
feat	A new feature related to a production code.
fix	A bug fix related to a production code.
refactor	A production code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature.
perf	A less generic subset of refactor, a code change that improves performance.
test	Adding new/missing tests or correcting existing tests.
docs	Documentation changes.
chore	Updating accompanying code (linters, builders, library versions, etc.) without affecting the production code.
ci	A less generic subset of chore related to CI changes only.
release	A less generic subset of chore related to changes that only bumps the version and update CHANGELOG.md.
revert	Used for commits that revert another commit.
wip	Shortened form of work in progress For commits that should be in the public repository but represent a feature that is not yet ready.
nvm	Shortened form of nevermind For commits that have no value to other developers, which can be skipped when analyzing changes.
build	Not recommended to use nowadays. Used for legacy projects that provide build artifacts as part of the repository.
