Package description
The @commitlint/lint package is a part of the commitlint toolset that is used to lint commit messages according to a specified set of rules.

Linting Commit Messages
This feature allows you to lint commit messages using a set of predefined rules. The code sample demonstrates how to use the lint function to check if a commit message follows the specified rules for the commit type and subject case.
const { lint } = require('@commitlint/lint');
const message = 'feat: add new feature';
const rules = {
'type-enum': [2, 'always', ['feat', 'fix', 'docs', 'style', 'refactor', 'test', 'chore']],
'subject-case': [2, 'never', ['start-case', 'pascal-case', 'upper-case']]
};
lint(message, rules).then(report => {
console.log(report);
});commitlint is the core package that includes @commitlint/lint as part of its toolset. It provides a CLI and can be extended with plugins and shareable configurations. It is essentially the same tool but with a broader scope.
