change-scribe

change-scribe is a tool that validates that commit messages follow the conventional commit format, and lints them according to a configuration file.

Installation

Installation is done via cargo:

cargo install change-scribe

To build change-scribe from source, clone the repository and run:

Usage

To use change-scribe:

This validates the message according to the default configuration. The commit message could also be passed via stdin:

change-scribe --config path/to/config.toml "fix: resolved that bug"

By default, change-scribe reads configuration from either change-scribe.toml or .change-scribe.toml in the current directory.
