@commitlint/config-angular

What is @commitlint/config-angular?

@commitlint/config-angular is a shareable configuration for commitlint that follows the Angular commit message guidelines. It helps enforce a consistent commit message format in your project, which is particularly useful for projects that follow the Angular style guide.

What are @commitlint/config-angular's main functionalities?

Enforcing Commit Message Format

This configuration enforces the Angular commit message format. By extending `@commitlint/config-angular`, your project will adhere to the Angular commit message conventions, ensuring consistency and readability.

{
  "extends": ["@commitlint/config-angular"]
}

Customizing Rules

You can customize the commit message rules by extending the default configuration. In this example, the `type-enum` rule is customized to include specific types of commit messages such as `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, etc.

{
  "extends": ["@commitlint/config-angular"],
  "rules": {
    "type-enum": [
      2,
      "always",
      [
        "feat",
        "fix",
        "docs",
        "style",
        "refactor",
        "test",
        "chore"
      ]
    ]
  }
}
